Hello,

Is there a 3D printing material strong enough to be able to make a robot arm that will need to withstand loads of 29 kg/cm?

Thank you,

Hello,
Unfortunately, I do not have expertise in robotics, but I can nonetheless recommend metal 3D printing (also called DMLS), it is the technology that will allow you to make the most resistant parts in 3D printing. As for the material, stainless steel 316L is the one with the best mechanical properties.
I hope this answer is useful to you anyway!

        Hello Manon,

        Thank you for your recommendation on the use of 316L stainless steel by metal 3D printing (DMLS) for the components of a robotic arm. I agree that this material offers excellent mechanical properties, especially for applications requiring high resistance. Your suggestion is very useful for guiding the choice towards robust and reliable solutions for our project. We will take this option into account for the critical parts of the arm.
