Industrial Robotic 3D Printing with Polymers
strojLAB/ Czechia
Lecturer: Vojtěch Florián , David Škaroupka, Petr Krejčiřík, Petr Křivohlavý
An intensive three-day workshop covering the complete workflow of large-scale robotic 3D printing with polymers. Participants will learn how to design and generate toolpaths in Grasshopper, understand robotic motion and process limitations, and validate their designs through real-world printing on a six-axis robotic system. The focus is on connecting parametric design with manufacturing reality—what you design, you will actually print. 14. - 16. 7. 2026 price: 9 900 Kč plus VAT

A hands-on workshop where apprentices explore digital manufacturing technologies like 3D printing, laser cutting, and robotics. Participants design, build, and code their own robotic prototypes using Calliope mini controllers. The course promotes creativity, teamwork, and digital literacy through practical challenges. This workshop gives apprentices a comprehensive introduction to digital tools and manufacturing methods. They learn how to model in CAD, operate digital machines, and build functional prototypes. By completing a team-based robotics project, participants enhance their creative problem-solving, technical confidence, and digital skills. Assessment: Final presentation of the robotic prototype and group challenge. Material costs: €100 per participant
