熱溶解積層式3Dプリンタによるワイヤー駆動脚ロボット構造の一括成形

抄録

3D printers are becoming popular and using in many scenes. They enable to make products simply and rapidly according to the design models. However, they can make only a single bulk parts at a time in general. If we can make a whole robot structure at once by 3d printer, it became possible to manufacture a desired robot on the spot in a minute. In this report, we propose a method for making a robot structure including joints at one time by a Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) type 3D printer. It is unnecessary to assemble after printing. Further, we produced a wire-driven quadruped walking robot as an example of the proposed method.
