Robotic Arm Pellet 3D Printing Composite Mold Solution

Robotic Pellet 3D Printing Composite Mold Solution

This approach overcomes the limitations of traditional composite mold manufacturing—which relies heavily on CNC milling, manual mold-making, and multi-step post-processing—in terms of lead times, costs, structural adaptability, and production efficiency. It meets the demands of modern manufacturing for flexibility, small-batch production, and a wide variety of products.

Six-axis free movement

Breaking through the limitations of traditional gantry-style printing, this technology enables seamless 3D processing with no blind spots, completely eliminating the challenges associated with traditional mold splicing and trimming.

10–20 kg/h ultra-high throughput

Combined with high-performance composite pellet extrusion technology, the mold manufacturing cycle has been reduced from several weeks to just a few days, and the cost of small-batch prototyping has been cut by more than 60%.

2.7-meter extra-wide working radius

Large composite molds for wind turbine blades, aircraft fairings, and automotive body panels can be printed directly, eliminating the need for segmented manufacturing and ensuring the mold’s structural integrity and strength.

Print-and-mill integrated process

It can automatically perform high-precision machining, with surface accuracy that meets the requirements of high-end composite forming processes such as autoclave and RTM.

Robotic Arm Pellet 3D Printing Composite Mold Solution integrates three core technologies: the flexible motion of industrial multi-axis robotic arms, large-scale additive manufacturing (LFAM), and high-performance composite particle extrusion.

By eliminating the cumbersome processes of traditional mold making, this solution enables direct rapid prototyping from 3D models to finished molds, creating a new, end-to-end mold manufacturing model that integrates design, printing, finishing, and inspection.
