Agile, robust, and dexterous hands are a challenging puzzle piece to the potential of robotics.
The rapid evolution of 3D printing technology has made it faster, more automated and capable of greater production volumes. Developments have reached a point where the technology offers manufacturers significant production value. It means manufacturing costs can be significantly reduced in all aspects of manufacturing, all the way from R&D to actual production.
In the past two decades, the impetus of Industry 4.0 has pushed developments ahead at a much faster pace. This doesn’t mean that it’s all plain sailing from here on in – and many challenges in industrial robotics still remain.
It’s hard to believe that 3D printing has only been around since the 1980s. This technique, also called additive manufacturing, has proved so immensely useful that it’s evolving very quickly. The process was originally devised to make prototypes for one-off or small-batch parts. Materials were added progressively to build up a solid object, based on 3D digital models. It was much more cost-efficient than cutting source materials down, as no waste was apparently produced.
In this post, we will be zooming in on the practical applications of 3D printed carbon fiber composites across multiple categories in order to explore how this unique material is driving efficiency and precision in everything from welding to robotic automation.

Mobile robots are becoming increasingly common in manufacturing facilities, as they replace human beings in repetitive transfer tasks. Most of them can be found in warehouses, but they’re also finding a place in assembly and manufacturing plants. This is mainly due to continuing developments in sensor technology, and computer intelligence. Their safety and flexibility have also improved.
There is a talent shortage in the Netherlands that is expected to persist until 2050. So concludes Ton Wilthagen, professor of Labor Market at Tilburg University, in the new High Tech Campus documentary The Talent Game: "Even if we attract more international knowledge workers, work more hours and involve people from the sidelines in the labor market, the talent shortage will remain."
