About Project

Meet the future of last-mile logistics. This autonomous delivery robot, designed by Unity Drive Innovation, is a masterclass in modern industrial design and rapid prototyping. Featuring a 360掳 3D LiDAR for seamless navigation and an interactive front-facing display, this “Mini” Delibot is built to navigate complex urban environments with precision.

To bring this sleek, functional design to life, the prototype鈥檚 enclosure was crafted using SLA (Stereolithography) 3D printing. SLA was the ideal choice here because it delivers the high-resolution detail and smooth surface finish required for professional-grade electronics housings. By using a durable, PP-like resin, the engineers achieved a balance of aesthetic clarity and the structural integrity needed to house sensitive internal components during testing.

Whether you are developing a cutting-edge robotics startup or a complex consumer product, FacFox is your ultimate partner for on-demand manufacturing. We offer a comprehensive suite of technologies including SLA, FDM, and MJF for plastics, DMLS for industrial-grade metal parts, and high-precision CNC machining. From your first iterative prototype to low-volume production, FacFox provides the expertise and speed to turn your CAD files into reality.

Solution

• Step 1: The robot’s exterior form was scaled down to a tabletop size and the digital model was hollowed out to reduce material weight.
• Step 2: Optimized support structures were generated for the overhanging “head” and chassis sections to ensure dimensional stability during the build.
• Step 3: The components were fabricated using SLA technology, where a laser was directed into a vat of liquid resin to solidify the model layer by layer.
• Step 4: The scaled parts were harvested from the printer and washed in a solvent to remove any residual liquid resin from the surfaces.
• Step 5: Post-curing was completed in a UV chamber to harden the resin, ensuring the prototype was rigid enough for handling and display.
• Step 6: Manual post-processing was performed, where support marks were sanded away and the surface was polished to a “level A” finish.
• Step 7: A high-gloss blue finish and matte grey accents were applied via spray painting to match the client’s specific CMF requirements.
• Step 8: The static “screen” and mock LiDAR unit were bonded to the main body to complete the visual representation of the robot.
