With the rapid rise of 3D-printing as a competitive mass manufacturing method, manual "decaking" – i.e. removing the residual powder that sticks to a 3D-printed part – has become a significant bottleneck. Here, we introduce, for the first time to our knowledge, a robotic system for automated decaking of 3D-printed parts. Combining Deep Learning for 3D perception, smart mechanical design, motion pl...
