FDM 3D Printed End-of-Arm Tooling

FDM technology provides a faster, more efficient way to make and modify robotic end-of-arm tools (EOAT), also known as end effectors. Instead of machining, EOATs are 3D printed using strong thermoplastic materials. 3D printing’s freedom from manufacturability constraints lets you optimize the design for the application.

Make Them Faster

Leverage the advantages of faster EOAT ideation and creation with 3D printing, avoiding the lead time to machine or outsource them. Print your end-of-arm tool overnight and have it working for you the following day.

Make Them Lighter

Make lighter end-of-arm tools that require less power to operate. FDM technology uses strong but lightweight materials ranging from engineering-grade ABS to high-strength thermoplastics.

Make Them for Less Cost

Print EOATs on-demand, avoiding the material and lead time costs of traditional manufacturing. Customization and design changes are as easy as updating the CAD model and printing another tool.
