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 delivers high productivity and quality in large-scale additive manufacturing applications with proven performance and scalability.
Modular System
Flexbot is a system optimized for customized solutions tailored to specific applications.
Siemens Sinumerik controllers directly control Comau robot arms, eliminating the need for a separate robot controller.
This system has very high positioning accuracy, especially when moving along a path, enabling precise robot movements.
Siemens Sinumerik can control up to 31 axes, allowing easy expansion and integration of various production processes such as rotary tables, additional robots, CNC milling, etc.
Printing & Milling
Flexbot offers the unique ability to integrate 3D printing and milling into a single automated process.
It is suitable for mold making and tooling work, and can effectively achieve the required surface finish.
For final products, CNC milling capabilities enable high-precision flange and hole machining to meet high tolerance requirements.
