The Robocut3D is a robotic milling system designed for processing of expanded polystyrene (EPS) and extruded polystyrene (XPS). Other workable materials include marble, wood, resins, foams, and plastic. The system features a Kuka robotic arm with spindles in a glass enclosure to contain dust. It uses a SprutCAM Robot, an instrument for quick calculation of complex movements of the robot, making it possible to develop and fine-tune the control programs without the use of the robot itself.
Recently, Ronchini showcased an educational version of the Robocut3D at the GITEX Technology Week 2016 expo in Dubai, aimed at installation in learning environments such as university laboratories to provide training on robotics and subtractive manufacturing using soft materials.
Filippo Ronchini, CEO, Ronchini Massimo, said, “In addition to its industrial applications, the Robocut3D has applications in the education industry for university students pursuing careers in engineering and manufacturing to get trained onthe fundamentals of robotics, hardware and software development, and applications such as milling and pick and place through simulations and real world testing.”
