3D打印机制造商Roboze它启动了它声称的是世界上第一个将定制的“超级聚合物”和复合3D打印的工业自动化系统进入生产工作流程。
与奥地利自动化和流程控制技术公司合作开发B&R，Roboze Automate旨在通过简化整个工作流程来应对3D打印部门内标准化，过程控制和可重复性的长期挑战。该系统将适用于所有新的ARGO 500additive production systems from Roboze.
“随着对美国和世界各地强大，有弹性的基础设施的需求，我们正在将3D制造业带入新的一致性，重复性以及过程控制和生产速度的新水平，” Roboze CEO Alessio Lorusso说。
“Our components-as-a-service approach is upending error-ridden manufacturing fluctuations and materials shortages to support true industrial-scale 3D manufacturing.”
Roboze的3D打印投资组合
In addition to manufacturing its high-temperature fused-filament-fabrication (FFF) 3D printers, Roboze is known for its development of ‘superpolymer’ ultra-rigid thermoplastics, such as carbon PA and carbon PEEK. The strengths exhibited by these materials are reportedly able to match those of pure alloys, and potentially replace them for various high-performance applications.
Roboze的Argo 500 3D打印机能够打印此类超级聚合物，以生产用于最终用途应用的金属替换零件。例如，机器以前已被University of Delawareto produce关键任务组件for theCombat Capabilities Development Command，并且也由意大利国防承包商部署Leonardoto printcarbon fiber-filled PEEK aerospace parts.
Roboze has also recently partnered with the科罗拉多大学博尔德大学to开发一个超耐用的立方体capable of monitoring the progress of cosmic space storms in-orbit. The company helped to optimize the Cubesat’s design and 3D printed highly-robust parts for its magnetic field sensors.
去年，Roboze推出了专门用于要求高性能应用程序的新分布式3D打印服务，称为机器人3D零件. The service was developed to serve as a network for helping businesses to reduce their costs through streamlining their supply chains, digitalizing their inventories, and producing components on-demand.
With its newest development, Roboze Automate, the company looks set to further streamline and optimize industrial 3D printing workflows that leverage superpolymers, while also improving standardization and process control elements.
机动自动化
从人体错误和材料质量到温度波动和传感器质量，3D打印部门在零件生产中存在不一致之处。这些挑战可能会使该技术无法与其他工业制造过程（例如CNC加工和注入成型）相提并论。
With the debut of Roboze Automate, Roboze is seeking to address challenges surrounding standardization and process control in order to increase the repeatability of parts printed with superpolymers and composites.
机动自动化combines Roboze’s novel PEEK polymer platform technology with a PLC industrial automation system developed in partnership with B&R. Embedded with advanced sensors, remote control and diagnosis capabilities, the system seeks to streamline the entire additive manufacturing workflow through monitoring results and reporting data throughout the printing process.
The system also features in-built predictive maintenance through automatic remote updates of new features and software parameters. Roboze Automate will be available to all new ARGO 500 3D printing systems, enabling the firm’s customers to produce and certify their customized printed components in batches up to 3,000 parts per machine.
