Flexible Automation for Large-Scale, High-Value AM Applications
Additive manufacturing is transforming how parts are designed, produced, and repaired—reducing material waste, accelerating time to market, and enabling complex geometries that traditional processes can’t achieve. When paired with industrial robotics, additive manufacturing scales beyond prototyping into reliable, production-ready applications.
Large and complex part production beyond the limits of traditional printers
Hybrid manufacturing, building material onto existing components
Automated, unattended operation around 3D printing systems
Consistent deposition for metal build-up, surface enhancement, and repair
With open interfaces, excellent path accuracy, and proven performance in demanding environments, Motoman robots provide a flexible platform for additive manufacturing—from early development through full-scale production.
Motoman robots bring the reach, precision, and multi-axis flexibility needed to support a wide range of additive manufacturing processes, including large-format 3D printing, WAAM, laser cladding, and decorative or functional material deposition.
