Raise3D Application Guide: End-of-Arm Tooling

Additive manufacturing (AM) using filament-based polymers, particularly fused filament fabrication (FFF), has revolutionized the production of end-of-arm tooling (EOAT). End-of-arm tooling, referring to the devices attached to the end of robotic arms for handling parts, assembly, or manipulating objects, often requires customization based on specific tasks. Compared to traditional machining methods, additive manufacturing enables a high level of customization, a faster prototyping cycle, and lower materials costs.

This Application Guide explores the benefits of additive manufacturing for end-of-arm tooling production, highlights key 3D printing materials and their applications, and identifies EOAT use cases where additive manufacturing provides the greatest advantages.
