Innovative Robotic sheet molding process

 Innovative method for rapidly producing hard tooling (and other metal parts) is being commercialized by Machina Labs Inc. (Los Angeles, Calif., U.S.). Described as dieless robotic sheet forming... Machina’s contributions are in the application of computational modeling and simulations, machine learning/artificial intelligence (ML/AI), sensor technologies and kinematic solutions (industrial robot arms). The entire process runs off a software stack and interfaces developed by Machina. It transforms CAD files into robot tool paths and uses sensors to interpret force and torque being applied as well as optical scans measuring deformation to incrementally manipulate sheet metal to form parts. The process creates a digital twin as the part takes shape, and a digital thread captures all relevant process characterization and part qualification information..."
