PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of producing a robot component, particularly a gripper, the method being capable of being applied multi-functionally and shortening a mounting time to a robot.
SOLUTION: A method of producing a robot component, particularly a finger 5, applied to robotics by a three-dimensional printing method of this invention comes not to require other production processes such as attachment of a cover, etc. with a separate sensor or a material (soft, in many cases), etc., by simultaneously printing at least one sensor 7 by multi-material printing while printing the robot component.
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum 3D-Druck eines Roboterelements, insbesondere eines Fingers 5, zum Einsatz in der Robotik, bei dem mittels Multimaterialdruck wenigstens ein Sensor 7 während des Drucks des Roboterelements mitgedruckt wird. Weiterhin betrifft die Erfindung ein Betätigungs- oder Greifelement, insbesondere Finger 5 für einen Roboter, das durch ein derartiges Verfahren hergestellt wurde.
A method for 3D printing of a robot element, more particularly a finger for use in robotics. At least one sensor is concomitantly printed by means of multi-material printing during the printing of the robot element. A gripping element produced by a method of this kind includes a number of printed layers of robot element material and a concomitantly printed sensor.
In 4D printing an additively manufactured component is given the ability to change its shape or function under the influence of an external stimulus. To achieve this, special smart materials are used that are able to react to external stimuli in a specific way. So far, a number of different stimuli have already been investigated and initial applications have been impressively demonstrated, such as self-folding bodies and simple grippers. However, a methodical specification for the selection of the stimuli and their implementation was not yet in the foreground of the development.
The focus of this work is therefore to develop a methodical approach with which the technology of 4DP can be used in a solution- and application-oriented manner. The developed approach is based on the conventional design methodology for product development to solve given problems in a structured way. This method is extended by specific approaches under consideration of the 4D printing and smart materials.
To illustrate the developed method, it is implemented in practice using a problem definition in the form of an application example. In this example, which represents the recovery of an object from a difficult-to-access environment, the individual functions of positioning, gripping and extraction are implemented using 4D printing. The material extrusion process is used for additive manufacturing of all components of the example. Finally, the functions are successfully tested. The developed approach offers an innovative and methodical approach to systematically solve technical complex problems using 4DP and smart materials.
Dieses Lehrbuch ermöglicht dem Anfänger in der 3D-Modellierung einen schnellen Einstieg in die Arbeit mit dem cloudbasierten praxisorientierten CAD-System Onshape. Dabei werden bei jedem Schritt die besonderen Anforderungen an eine 3D-Druck-gerechte Gestaltung erläutert und umgesetzt. Somit ist das Ergebnis dieser „Schritt für Schritt“-Anleitung die vollständige Modellierung eines Miniatur-Automobils, das am 3D-Drucker in ein reales Modell umgesetzt werden kann. Die aktuelle Auflage wurde zugunsten besserer Lesbarkeit in ein größeres Format gebracht, die Inhalte wurden neu gegliedert und aktualisiert und um das Kapitel „Blechbauteile für CNC-Biegen" erweitert.
Additive manufacturing enables the production of lightweight and resilient components with extensive design freedom. In the low-cost sector, material extrusion (e.g. Fused Deposition Modeling - FDM) has been the main method used to date. Thus, robust 3D printers and inexpensive 3D materials (polymer filaments) can be used. However, the printing times for FDM are very long and the quality of the dimensions and surfaces is limited. Recently, new processes from the field of Vat polymerization have entered the market. For example, masked stereolithography (mSLA) offers a significant improvement in component quality and build speed through the use of resins and large-area curing at still reasonable costs. Currently, there is only limited knowledge available on the optimal design of components using this young process. In this contribution, design guidelines are developed to determine the possibilities and limitations of mSLA from a design point of view. For this purpose, a number of test geometries are designed and investigated to obtain systematic insights into important design features, such as wall thickness, grooves and holes. In addition, typical problems in additive manufacturing, such as the design of overhangs and fits or the hollowing of components, are investigated. The evaluation of practical 3D printing tests thus provides important parameters that can be transferred to design guidelines of components for additive manufacturing using mSLA.
In 4D printing, an additively manufactured component is given the ability to change its shape or function in an intended and useful manner over time. The technology of 4D printing is still in an early stage of development. Nevertheless, interesting research and initial applications exist in the literature. In this work, a novel methodical approach is presented that helps transfer existing 4D printing research results and knowledge into solving application tasks systematically. Moreover, two different smart materials are analyzed, used, and combined following the presented methodical approach to solving the given task in the form of recovering an object from a poorly accessible space. This is implemented by self-positioning, grabbing, and extracting the target object. The first smart material used to realize these tasks is a shape-memory polymer, while the second is a polymer-based magnetic composite. In addition to the presentation and detailed implementation of the methodical approach, the potentials and behavior of the two smart materials are further examined and narrowed down as a result of the investigation. The results show that the developed methodical approach contributes to moving 4D printing closer toward a viable alternative to existing technologies due to its problem-oriented nature.
