Title: 6 axis Robot
Post by: avongil on June 04, 2009, 07:47:18 AM

The robot finally came alive yesterday.  It was mostly printed on Dimension 3D FDM printers, I only machined 3 simple parts - hex couplings that bolt to the 30:1 gear reductions.

Robots are really cool.  Look up "Mastercam Robotmaster" on youtube and you will see some awesome programming. I will get some videos up in the upcoming weeks when we have the robot simulator and post processor set up in Robotmaster.

You will need to search for "Robotmaster Mastercam"  In you tube. Sorry.

Here is a great sample of what we are planing on doing.

Im going to start by drawing something flat, then maybe drawing  the continents on a clear fishbowl.  or maybe I will use a laser pointer attached to the end.



In case anyone is wondering it was printed on  these three machines:

Fortus 400 MC (the white part is too large for the other printers)  http://www.fortus.com/Fortus400mc.aspx (http://www.fortus.com/Fortus400mc.aspx)
Dimension SST  http://www.dimensionprinting.com/3d-printers/3d-printing-sst.aspx (http://www.dimensionprinting.com/3d-printers/3d-printing-sst.aspx)
