“…Noticed that multi-DOF (Degree of Freedom) robot benefits from the faster fashion than traditional RP methods and more flexibility than CNC machines, the idea of utilizing multi-DOF robots to build prototypes has attracted many robotic researchers to the field of 3D fabrication. Tengleder and Vergeest (4,5) were early to implement robotic arms for this purpose. Also, Chen (6,7) implemented a robotic system for sculptured surface cutting and later developed a technique that uses layer-based machining to sculpt prototypes made of polymers.…”

In this paper, a surface sculpturing system based on 8-axis robot is proposed, the CAD/CAM software and tool path generation algorithm for this sculpturing system are presented. The 8-axis robot is composed of a 6-axis manipulator and a 2-axis worktable, it carves block of polystyrene foams by heated cutting tools. Multi-DOF (Degree of Freedom) robot benefits from the faster fashion than traditional RP (Rapid Prototyping) methods and more flexibility than CNC machining. With its flexibility driven from an 8-axis configuration, as well as efficient custom-developed software for rough cutting and finish cutting, this surface sculpturing system can carve sculptured surface accurately and efficiently.

“…When used for machining, there is always a tradeoff between low dynamic accuracy and good accessibility. This is why early researches on robot machining were targeted at making prototypes with large size and complicated geometry [20][21][22][23]33]. Accuracy of part making was not a major concern.…”

Early studies on robot machining were reported in the 1990s. Even though there are continuous worldwide researches on robot machining ever since, the potential of robot applications in machining has yet to be realized. In this paper, the authors will first look into recent development of robot machining. Such development can be roughly categorized into researches on robot machining system development, robot machining path planning, vibration/chatter analysis including path tracking and compensation, dynamic, or stiffness modeling. These researches will obviously improve the accuracy and efficiency of robot machining and provide useful references for developing robot machining systems for tasks once thought to only be capable by CNC machines. In order to advance the technology of robot machining to the next level so that more practical and competitive systems could be developed, the authors suggest that future researches on robot machining should also focus on robot machining efficiency analysis, stiffness mapbased path planning, robotic arm link optimization, planning, and scheduling for a line of machining robots.
