Demo Workshop: New Applications of Robotics and Materials in Boat and Composite Manufacturing

Welcome to an event for companies in the boating and composites industries, featuring presentations and demonstrations of 3D printing, milling, and surface treatment of large-scale molds, as well as the cutting of reinforced plastic parts using robotics.

The event will explore how robotics and 3D printing can be combined, how robots are suited for cutting reinforced plastic parts, and what new opportunities these solutions open up for improving companies’ productivity.

In the demo workshop, we’ll demonstrate how the same robot can be used for multiple different work stages by switching out its tools. A single multifunctional robot cell can be used to 3D-print large-scale parts, such as molds, as well as mill and sand them to the desired finish.

On display will be a multifunctional robotic cell for 3D printing, milling, and surface finishing of large-scale parts, as well as a robotic cutting cell for cutting reinforced plastic parts.

The event will also showcase bio-based plastic composites and recycled materials, as well as material samples and examples of products made from them. Participants will learn about the development process, properties and suitability of these materials for large-scale 3D printing.

The event will be held in English and Finnish.
