CEAD, frontrunner in robotic large format 3D printing
solutions, is thrilled to announce a pivotal collaboration with ADAXIS, a rapidly fast-
growing robotics software company. This strategic partnership aims to strengthen the
integration between their Flexbot solutions and AdaOne software, offering customers a
seamless experience for large format 3D printing with composite materials.
Recognizing the increasing reliance on modern technologies, CEAD acknowledges the
importance of close collaboration with software companies to elevate the performance,
compatibility, and functionality of their solutions.
CEAD aims to deliver a more advanced and user-friendly total solution for
their customers by joining forces with ADAXIS, a multinational team of innovators on a
mission to change the way the world uses industrial robotics and enable manufacturing
of more sustainable and innovative products. This collaboration has given rise to the
official launch of 'AdaOne for Flexbot' a software integration for CEAD's Flexbot systems.
"Cultivating shared values and a unified vision with the ADAXIS team empowers us to
innovate swiftly, steering our collaborative efforts toward the entire ecosystem of large
format 3D printing.’’ states Maarten Logtenberg, co-founder and CTO of CEAD.
Innovative features in AdaOne for Flexbot.
AdaOne for Flexbot introduces a range of unique features, including automatic raft
generating and scan-to-mill functionalities.
Automated secure fixation for part on the print bed
The raft generator is an innovative feature that automatically creates rafts to secure
parts to CEAD's print bed, minimizing material use. This cutting-edge feature, unique to
ADAXIS' 'AdaOne for Flexbot,' enhances end-user convenience by ensuring parts remain
securely fixated in place throughout the entire printing and post-processing cycle.
Automated generation of milling paths based on scan data of the printed part
The scan-to-mill workflow facilitates post-3D printing data collection, enabling the
automatic generation of a milling path based on acquired data. Addressing the dynamic
nature of 3D printing of large parts, this feature determines the optimal alignment
between the CAD model and the printed part, ensuring a milling program that meets
end-users' requirements with minimal milling time and maximized remaining material
thickness. Integrated into Flexbot's automatic tool change system, scan-to-mill
guarantees a seamless workflow.
Game-Changing for faster adoption of large format 3D printing
The incorporation of these innovative features in one software platform marks a game-
changer for 3D printing. CEAD’s refined methodology for large format 3D printing
seamlessly converges within the 'AdaOne for Flexbot' platform. It ensures Flexbot users
a smoother, more efficient experience with increased consistency. But also, more
reliability and build quality, while minimizing potential issues. This collaborative effort
results in a software experience that seamlessly integrates with the Flexbot systems,
elevating the overall 3D printing experience.
