Abstract

Additive manufacturing is a fabrication technique that revolutionizes the production of three-dimensional objects. In this context, this project proposes the use of robots, specifically the delta model, as a mobile base in 3D printing systems. The goal is to explore the advantages of this integration, considering the high mobility and precision of the delta robot. In addition, it is intended to use a digital twin to monitor and control the quality of the print, identifying possible deformities.
