Development of A 6-DOF 3D printed industrial robot for teaching and learning / Adamu Yusuf Abdullahi

The trend in modern manufacturing has led to a paradigm shift from the conventional high method to heavily automated processes. This comes with a high cost for those who want to meet up to the increasing pace of this revolution as the machines and the knowledge to control them is becoming expensive....

description The trend in modern manufacturing has led to a paradigm shift from the conventional high method to heavily automated processes.

With the drop in the prices of 3D printers and availability of off-the-shelf (OTS) electronics components, the industrial experience is brought nearer to those who cannot afford it, especially students who need learn the adequate skill-sets in order to efficiently perform in this fourth industrial revolution.
