Simulation-Driven-Design for Industrial Polymer Applications

22 Nov 2024

Additive Manufacturing and Robotics for the Industry of the Future: Robotics and automation are playing an increasingly central role in industry to address current challenges. With over 500,000 new robot installations worldwide each year, there is enormous potential for the use of additive manufacturing. Especially in handling applications, printed lightweight grippers offer impressive benefits: they save energy, reduce CO₂ emissions, lower costs, and shorten cycle times.

In this presentation, the University of Applied Sciences Würzburg-Schweinfurt, EOS, and Siemens – demonstrate practical approaches for companies to quickly and easily implement lightweight solutions. From AI-supported design and optimization to CO₂ and energy tracking, to simulating complete robotic cells in a digital twin with Siemens software, we show how additive technology can be seamlessly integrated into the production process.

Validated and industry-ready gripper solutions offer companies the opportunity to make their processes more efficient, sustainable, and competitive – with the flexibility and speed that modern markets demand. From print preparation to production in the digital twin, THWS supports companies at every step, ensuring that additive manufacturing meets the same quality standards as conventional methods.

Additive robotic gripper solutions validated and ready for industrial transformation. Now.
