Max Müller, an experienced mechanical engineer from Germany, is dedicated to developing a new generation of industrial robots to enhance the flexibility and precision of production line automation. To achieve high load capacity and fast robotic movements, he required the manufacturing of a batch of high-strength and dimensionally precise robot joint connectors.
To meet the stringent performance standards, Max chose to collaborate with Rapid Model, leveraging our advanced 5-axis CNC machining technology and rich manufacturing experience to ensure the parts meet complex geometric requirements and strict tolerance standards.
Rapid Model provided comprehensive DFM (Design for Manufacturability) analysis to optimize part design for manufacturability.
We used 5-axis machining combined with multiple process steps to complete the machining of complex curved surfaces and fine structures, ensuring part design accuracy.
For surface treatment, anodizing was applied to enhance corrosion resistance, and precision polishing ensured smooth operation of the parts.
In the early project stage, Max used 3D printing to validate initial structure and assembly tests, but plastic materials could not meet the mechanical performance requirements in practical use.
Therefore, he decided to use titanium alloy and utilized Rapid Model’s 5-axis machining technology for batch manufacturing. Max uploaded design drawings and 3D models to our platform for quick quotation and process advice.
Our engineering team conducted an in-depth analysis of the design and proposed multiple optimization suggestions, especially ensuring the stability and longevity of parts in complex curved and load-bearing structures.
During machining, we used high-precision machines and measuring equipment to monitor part dimensions and surface quality throughout, guaranteeing every joint connector met strict standards.
After multiple rounds of testing, the robot joint connectors perfectly matched design requirements, significantly improving the overall performance and reliability of the robot.
Max highly praised: "Rapid Model not only has advanced technology but also provides quick response service, making the cooperation experience excellent. We look forward to more projects together in the future."
Next, both parties plan to jointly develop the robot’s end effectors to further improve the flexibility and intelligence of automation equipment.
This case fully demonstrates Rapid Model’s strength and service capability in high-end precision part manufacturing, highlighting our deep cooperation with international clients and technological innovation.
