CMS to Showcase Krearob Robotic 3D Printer at Formnext
Written with artificial intelligence.
CMS SpA will unveil its Krearob robotic large-format additive manufacturing system at Formnext in Frankfurt, marking its debut at the trade show. The system promises up to 80% material savings compared to traditional manufacturing methods and will be demonstrated live at Hall 12.0, Stand D51.
Introduction to Krearob
CMS SpA, an Italian machinery manufacturer, is set to present its latest innovation, the Krearob robotic large-format additive manufacturing (LFAM) system, at Formnext in Frankfurt. This event marks the first public appearance of Krearob, which aims to revolutionize large-scale 3D printing with significant material savings.
Key Features and Demonstrations
Krearob is designed to produce thermoplastic components and tooling with complex geometries. According to CMS, it can reduce material use and part weight by up to 80% compared to conventional manufacturing techniques, while maintaining high productivity and consistent quality. The demonstrations will take place at Hall 12.0, Stand D51, where attendees can also see the Kreator A3, another large-format printer from CMS.
Technological Integration
The Krearob system combines a six-axis robotic arm with CMS's proprietary slicing software and a human-machine interface, allowing for streamlined programming, simulation, and printing. The targeted sectors for this technology include aerospace, automotive, and industrial manufacturing, showcasing its versatility.
CMS’s Broader Offerings
Alongside Krearob, CMS will feature the Kreator A3, which uses screw extrusion for creating large thermoplastic parts. Marino Chiappa, Division Director at CMS, highlighted the distinct advantages of both systems: Krearob is tailored for applications requiring multi-axis positioning, while Kreator A3 is ideal for large-format printing within a fixed space. CMS continues to expand its LFAM offerings, reinforcing its commitment to meeting diverse manufacturing needs across different industries.
