3D-printed cobot gripper

Thanks to the close cooperation between struktur.form.design Engineering GmbH, we were able to develop a gripper that sets new standards through state-of-the-art additive manufacturing and topology optimization.

Key statistics compared to conventional grippers:

78% weight saving: the use of 3D printing technology enables a drastic reduction in weight, reducing the load on the robot and increasing efficiency.
84% fewer components: Thanks to additive manufacturing, we were able to significantly reduce the number of individual parts, which simplifies assembly and increases reliability.
30% cost savings: Thanks to optimized designs and the ability to produce tailor-made solutions cost-effectively, we were able to significantly reduce production costs.

Additive manufacturing makes complex and individual designs economically feasible. By integrating structural optimization techniques, we were able to maximize the load capacity of the gripper while ensuring that the strength is reinforced in key areas. This leads to high efficiency and reliability in operation. Through Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM), we have created an extremely lightweight gripper that improves the robot's performance and dynamics without compromising functionality.
