MX3D and Altair redesign and 3D print optimized robotic arm AM Software

Amsterdam-based MX3D, a specialist in robotic metal 3D printing (many will know of its famous canal bridge project), teamed up with software company Altair to 3D print an optimized industrial robot arm for a robot provided by ABB Robotics. The project, which leveraged Altair’s design expertise with MX3D’s large-scale metal 3D printing capability, demonstrates how generative design can optimize and customize robotic arms for increased productivity. The project also showcases how MX3D’s metal AM technology can efficiently produce large-scale metal parts with complex geometries.
