Abstract(s)

Abstract. The general use of robot manipulators in the Additive Manufacturing (AM) world could cause a paradigm shift on how these technologies are used today. Adding more degrees of freedom to the AM systems decreases the limita tions of current mainstream additive technologies, such as restricted build volume, high manufacturing times, and the use of support structures. However, existing traditional techniques for slicing 3D models and path planning generation do not translate smoothly into the requirements and constraints of robot manipulator systems. This paper presents a state-of-the-art review on the current systems and technologies, as well as advantages and challenges on the use of robot manipulators in AM, focusing on extrusion-based processes.
