Robotics & Automation

Why It's Better

The robotics industry demands extreme precision, complex geometries, and rapid iteration. HBD's metal additive manufacturing systems empower developers to break through traditional manufacturing limits. From lightweight structural components to high-performance actuators, our technology enables the production of topology-optimized designs, conformal cooling, and integrated multi-functional parts. This results in faster R&D cycles, significant weight reduction, and enhanced dynamic performance, bringing your advanced robotics concepts to reality quicker than ever.

How 3D Printing

is Making a Difference

Use Case 1: Six-Axis Force Sensor

Challenge: Traditional machining can’t produce complex internal lattice structures needed for high-sensitivity sensors.
Solution: HBD printed a bionic honeycomb sensor (Ti-6Al-4V) as a single integrated part—no assembly required.
Result: 45% weight reduction, improved torsional stiffness, and 30% shorter lead time by eliminating cutting, welding, and assembly.

Use Case 2: Robotic Hand & Leg Guards

Challenge: Protective gear must balance high impact resistance with ultra-lightweight for agile movement.
Solution: HBD printed topology-optimized aluminum (AISi10Mg) guards with internal lattice structures.
Result: Hand guards 57% lighter, leg guards 45% lighter than traditional parts—maximizing protection with minimal weight.

Use Case 3: Mini Hip Rotation Front Support

Challenge: Joint brackets must handle high loads while keeping weight low—traditional multi-part CNC designs create weak points.
Solution: HBD printed a single-piece aluminum (HBCL-QR01) bracket, replacing a multi-part assembly.
Result: 40% weight reduction vs. CNC-machined original, with more uniform stress distribution and higher load capacity.
