Gripper Fingers

Gripper fingers that would normally be machined out of aluminum can be confidently designed and 3D printed for most applications. Thermal properties vary by material and soft-touch HNBR pads can be added.

Components that require very specific geometries can be quickly prototyped using FDM (left finger pictured) and validated before a tool is finished giving ample time for design changes to improve performance. When a final geometry is chosen, the parts can be manufactured (either traditional machining or through additive manufacturing) knowing that they will work perfectly (right finger pictured).
