Few days ago, my wife told me “why is not there a 3D printed robot to help with the daily activities? It is frustrating to do the same thing again and again every day.” Then, I come across the new project, Origibot. Origibot is a 3D printed robot that can do simple home activities such as holding cups, watering plants or opening doors for visitors. Although the design of the robot is still in its early stage but the result is promising. the model that is created by using 3D printing technology contains simple arm and moving wheels, yet it is[…]

Unlike the traditional industrial process which requires a long production line and lengthy sequence of steps, creating a 3D printed robot is much easier and can be done at home if you have a 3D printer in hand. Similar to many fields, the 3D printing industry enabled many designers and engineers to turn their ideas into real workable models with a significant reduction in costs. While there are different 3D printing technologies, 3D printers that depend on fused deposition modeling technology with a plastic-based filament can be affordable at lower costs. The designer requires 3D printing software which lets he or[…]
