This week we are introducing you to LaserFactory. This manufacturing solution uses a laser beam machine to create robots, drones and other types of electronic devices, completely autonomously. This is an industry 4.0 system that may well in the future also be equipped with a 3D printer! We are also taking the opportunity to show you a hut with 3D printed walls as well as behind the scenes of the company, ARAN, which recently acquired an additive micro-manufacturing machine. We wish you all a great Sunday and don’t hesitate to share your videos with us!

TOP 1: LaserFactory, a 3D platform for creating robots

Researchers from the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), have created a system capable of autonomously constructing robots, and functional drones. Thanks to its laser cutter and associated software, it is able to fabricate electronic devices alone. For example, it can cut parts of different sizes and assemble them to form a final object. While the system has yet to integrate a 3D printer, it remains pertinent as a technology that could allow us to create custom parts, on demand and quickly. We’ll let you watch the machine in action :
