Case Study: Voodoo Manufacturing triples 3D printing output with Universal Robots UR10 cobots

Voodoo Manufacturing Triples 3d Printing Production With Collaborative Robots

Voodoo Manufacturing, a Brooklyn-based 3D printing startup, needed to automate the manual loading and unloading of build plates across its growing printer farm. To solve this, the company turned to Universal Robots and its UR10 collaborative robot, paired with a Robotiq 2-finger gripper through the UR+ ecosystem.

Universal Robots’ UR10 was integrated quickly and easily, allowing Voodoo Manufacturing to run the harvesting process 24/7 with no human oversight. The result was a tripling of production output, printer utilization increasing from 30–40% to 90%, and an estimated 90% reduction in costs, with the robot expected to pay for itself in under six months.
