3D-printed casting core of a 3-foot long robot arm
This 3D-printed casting core of a 3-foot long robot arm was designed by a team of engineers from nTop, Penn State University, Flow 3D, and Humtown. The team used topology optimization and advanced casting to reduce the weight of the arm by 40% and avoid common casting defects.
