About Robotic Milling

3D robotic milling is an impressive technology that combines the flexibility and precision of robotics with traditional milling techniques. It enables the 3D shaping of various materials, such as wood, plastics, or composite materials. During robotic milling, the robot’s arm moves the milling head with great accuracy along predefined paths, making it possible to create highly complex, three-dimensional shapes and surfaces. No wonder it has become a pioneering element of industrial automation in recent years. Beyond 3D milling, our robot is also capable of sanding and deburring workpieces.

What are the advantages of 3D robotic milling?

  • Flexibility: Robots can be easily programmed for various tasks and are suitable for small-batch production or unique workpieces.
  • Precision: Modern robotic milling systems work with an accuracy of a few tenths of a millimetre.
  • Handling complexity: It allows for the creation of intricate geometries that are difficult or impossible to achieve with traditional machinery.
  • Cost-effectiveness compared to CNC milling: It offers a more accessible investment alternative and – thanks to its 6 axes – delivers more detailed results.
  • Modularity: The milling robot can be enhanced and easily transformed into a multifunctional tool.
  • Cost-efficiency for small batches: Ideal for prototypes or small-scale production, eliminating the need for expensive moulds.

The versatility of 3D robotic milling

This technology is highly adaptable and applicable across various industries:

  • Automotive Industry: Creating model prototypes, composite elements, or tools, especially during prototype development, as it doesn’t require extensive production lines.
  • Architecture and Construction: Producing large decorative elements,
    moulds, casting patterns, or unique architectural solutions.
  • Furniture Manufacturing and Interior Design: Crafting unique, intricatewooden and plastic components, such as ornate furniture pieces, interior decorations, or special installations.
  • Film Production and Visual Design: Shaping three-dimensional sets, props, or animation models.
  • Art and Sculpture: Creating unique artistic pieces and complex sculptural elements from various materials.
