Go beyond standard slicing—handle intricate geometries, customize every process parameter, and generate collision-free paths automatically in one intuitive environment.

Solution Offered by Robotmaster

Precision Control to Solve Real Production Issues

Start with native support for NURBS and Mesh files. We provide the specific tools you need to overcome common 3D printing defects—giving you full control over the process to ensure every print succeeds.

Eliminate Warping & Layer Separation

Shield Generation

  • The Problem: Large parts often cool unevenly, leading to cracks or warping.
  • Our Solution: Generate a dynamic Shield wall around the part to create a stable thermal micro-climate, ensuring layers bond perfectly.

Advanced Brim Adhesion

  • The Problem: If the foundation lifts, the print fails.
  • Our Solution: Define multi-path Brims with specific overlap control to firmly anchor the part against thermal contraction forces.

Maximize Structural Integrity

Adaptive Infill Patterns

    • The Problem: Standard generic filling often fails to meet specific mechanical strength requirements or anisotropic constraints.

    • Our Solution: Comprehensive control over the part’s internal structure.

      • Smart Density: Fine-tune Infill Density to find the perfect balance. Higher density ensures part quality and strength, while optimized low density reduces weight and print time.

      • Patterns: Choose from Lines, Grids, Triangles, Zig Zag, Concentric, and Honeycomb to best suit your application.

      • Line Directions: Define a single angle or a list of angles (e.g., [0 30 60 90]) to customize the grain direction of each layer for isotropic strength.

      • Solid Skins: Customize the Number of Top/Bottom Layers and Skin Expansion to ensure a watertight, solid foundation.

Smart Support Strategies

    • The Problem: Complex overhangs are prone to collapse, while dense supports can be difficult to remove and damage the surface.

    • Our Solution: Intelligent support generation that balances stability with removability.

      • Optimized Density: Independently control the Density of the main support structure and the Support Interface (Roof/Floor).

      • Patterns: Choose from Lines, Grids, and Triangles to best suit your application.

      • Auto-Placement: Supports are automatically placed based on adjustable Overhang Angles, ensuring stability only where needed.

Achieve Flawless Surface Quality

Arc Fit & Smooth Motion

  • The Problem: Robots can vibrate at sharp corners, creating ugly ripples (Ringing) on the part.
  • Our Solution: Intelligently convert jagged mesh segments into smooth Arc commands, ensuring fluid robot movement and clean surfaces.

Feed Rate & Ironing Control

  • The Problem: Top surfaces often look rough or under-filled.
  • Our Solution: Set independent speeds for walls and infill. Use Ironing to smooth out top layers for a professional, high-density finish.

Unlock Complex Geometries (Support-Free Manufacturing)

Intelligent 3+2 & Layer Fanning

  • The Problem: Standard slicing creates “stair-steps” on curved surfaces.
  • Our Solution: Utilize 3+2 axis strategies to print along the curve. This drastically improves surface finish and part strength.

Key Applications: Industrial 3D Printing & Large-Scale Manufacturing

The flexibility of the Robotmaster Slicer Module unlocks capabilities beyond traditional gantry systems, empowering industries to print larger, more complex, and higher-value parts.

Rapid Prototyping & Functional Testing

  • Application: Full-scale prototyping of automotive body panels, bumpers, and complex functional components such as Exhaust Manifolds.
  • Value: Enables engineers to validate fit, form, and flow dynamics (e.g., flow testing manifolds) using cost-effective polymers before committing to expensive metal tooling. The 6-axis freedom allows for printing complex internal channels and overhangs without excessive support structures, drastically accelerating the design cycle.

Large Format Manufacturing (LFAM)

  • Application: Production of massive, single-piece structures like boat hulls, aerospace fairings, furniture, and architectural facades.
  • Value: Breaks the build-volume limitations of traditional printers. By turning a robot arm into a printer, manufacturers can produce meter-scale parts in one go, eliminating assembly seams and reducing production time from weeks to days.

Complex Geometries & Non-Planar Printing

  • Application: Fabrication of intricate organic shapes, lattice structures, and parts with severe undercuts that are impossible for 3-axis machines.
  • Value: Utilizes the robot’s ability to tilt and rotate the tool (or part), enabling “Support-Free” printing. This not only saves material and post-processing time but also aligns layer deposition with the part’s stress lines, increasing mechanical strength.

Art, Sculpture & Entertainment

  • Application: Creation of large-scale sculptures, movie set props, theme park scenery, and restoration of historical artifacts.
  • Value: Translates digital artistry into physical reality with high precision. It replaces labor-intensive manual carving (e.g., in foam or clay), allowing artists to materialize complex, towering structures that would be difficult or dangerous to sculpt by hand.

Tooling & Composite Molds

  • Application: Printing near-net-shape molds for composite layups, sand casting patterns, and trimming fixtures.
  • Value: Replaces the costly and wasteful process of machining large metal or foam billets. Manufacturers can print a lightweight, hollow mold structure and machine only the surface to tolerance, significantly reducing material costs and lead time.
