Robotics 3D Printing for Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh's robotics companies, from Lawrenceville's Robotics Row to the autonomy teams spun out of Carnegie Mellon, iterate on hardware constantly: a new gripper finger, a moved sensor, a revised cover. Printed parts keep that loop short, and a stiff composite is often good enough for the robot that ships.

What we print for robotics teams

End effectors and gripper fingers

Rigid carbon-fiber nylon bodies with soft TPU pads where the gripper meets the part.

Sensor and camera mounts

Lidar, camera and IMU brackets that hold calibration through vibration.

Covers and fairings

Lightweight covers for arms, mobile bases and autonomous vehicle sensor pods.

Cable carriers and strain reliefs

Routing parts that flex with a joint instead of fighting it.

Materials for the job

FDM

PA-CF (Carbon Fiber Nylon)

Tensile 90–110 MPa · heat ~140 °C

FDM

PA12-CF (Carbon Fiber Nylon 12)

Tensile 70–90 MPa · heat ~140 °C

FDM

TPU 85A (Soft Flexible TPU)

Tensile 20–35 MPa · heat ~70 °C

FDM

ASA (Acrylic Styrene Acrylonitrile)

Tensile 45–55 MPa · heat ~100 °C

FDM

Nylon (Polyamide)

Tensile 70–85 MPa · heat ~120 °C

What we do not do

Print orientation sets how strong a loaded part is, so tell us the load direction and we will orient for it. For parts under cyclic load, test a sample before relying on it.

Tolerances: FDM ±0.2 mm typical; SLA ±0.1 mm, or ±0.2% above 100 mm. Production takes 2-5 business days.
