Flexbot
Flexbot, a large-scale industrial 3D printing solution,
It is a robot-based system that can be flexibly configured to suit various industrial sites.
CEAD's FlexBot provides high productivity and quality in the field of large-scale additive manufacturing with proven performance and scalability.
Modular System
Flexbot is a system optimized for customized solutions tailored to specific applications.
The Siemens Sinumerik controller directly controls the Comau robot arm, so a separate robot controller is not required.
This system offers very high positional accuracy, especially when moving along a path, enabling precise robot movements.
Siemens Sinumerik supports up to 31 axes of control, allowing for easy expansion and integration of various production processes such as rotary tables, additional robots, and CNC milling.
Printing & Milling
Flexbot offers unrivaled capabilities to integrate 3D printing and milling operations into a single automated process.
It is suitable for mold making and tooling operations, and can effectively achieve the required surface finish.
For the final product, high-precision flange and hole machining is possible through CNC milling capabilities, enabling the meeting of high tolerance requirements.
