Technology & Products
Key Products
3D robot milling solutions (hardware, software, and training), with 3D/5D extruders in development for large-scale 3D printing.
Technological Advantage
Proprietary integration of refurbished industrial robots with milling hardware and software (e.g., SprutCAM Robot) creates cost-effective, scalable systems; 5D printing technology with 5 degrees of freedom offers advanced deposition capabilities.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Reduces setup time and risk by offering pre-tested, turnkey robotic milling systems that are proven in demo setups, eliminating the typical trial-and-error approach of custom robot integration.
How They Differentiate
Focuses on refurbished robot-based systems rather than proprietary printers, offering lower-cost entry into large-format robotic milling compared to new equipment vendors; emphasizes hands-on training and proven configurations over off-the-shelf solutions.
Market & Competition
Target Customers
Industrial manufacturers seeking automated, large-format milling and printing capabilities for molds, prototypes, and production parts.
Industry Verticals
Industrial Manufacturing; Automotive; Aerospace; Marine; Art and Sculpture
Competitors
KUKA; ABB; FANUC
