Capstone Project: A 6DoF Robotic Arm for In-Place Repair of 3D Printed Components Using Additive Manufacturing
Over four months, I designed, built, and tested a fully 3D printed six-degree-of-freedom (6DoF) robotic arm as part of my final year capstone project. The system was developed to demonstrate how robotics and additive manufacturing can be applied to perform in-place repairs on damaged components. By integrating custom mechanical design, real-time motion control, and precision extrusion, the project highlights a scalable solution for restoring 3D printed parts without full replacement, offering a more sustainable and efficient approach to industrial maintenance.
