Today, the demand for industrial robots continues to grow. In order for industrial robots to make further progress, they need to reduce costs. One way to achieve this is to adapt new materials to robots in order to reduce power consumption by reducing weight. In order to realize the use of resin materials for FDM 3D printers as these new materials, we evaluate the characteristics of these materials when used. In this paper, we describe the contents and results of the evaluation of a planetary gear mechanism made with parts formed by an FDM 3D printer for the drive unit.
