SERVICE DETAILS // HOW IT WORKS

Robotics parts have to work with the complete assembly.

A bracket or housing is useful only if it positions, protects, routes, or clears the surrounding hardware correctly. AIURION reviews the print plan; your team validates loads, heat, motion, controls, and safety in the complete robot.

ROBOTICS FOCUS

Fast parts for changing robotics assemblies

AIURION locally serves robotics, drone, and R&D startups. The service is suited to the fast mechanical parts that change as boards, sensors, harnesses, and assemblies move.

FIT-CHECK SPEED

Often 24–48 hours, with rush options

A mount or housing can return to the bench quickly enough to influence the next assembly. Same-day rush is available for urgent feasible parts when queue and print time allow.

CONTROLLED FILE FLOW

Internal processing and air-gapped printing

Part files are processed and stored on internal bare-metal infrastructure, then transferred locally to air-gapped printers. That keeps prototype IP away from cloud print services and internet-connected printer workflows.

MATERIALS // CURRENT CATALOG

Choose the material for the job it does in the robot.

Use PLA and PETG for rigid fit checks and utility parts, ASA for housings exposed to weather, PPA-CF carbon fiber nylon (high-temp polyamide) for stiff fixtures and engineering prototypes, TPU 85A for soft contact pads, and TPU 95A HF for firmer grips and guards. Material, wall thickness, infill, and orientation all affect the finished part.

MAT_01

PLA

Black, Red, or Silver

BEST FOR

Sensor mounts, electronics packaging, cable routing, protective covers, geometry checks, bench fixtures, and lightly loaded indoor parts.

APPLICATION LIMIT

Do not assume suitability near motors, power electronics, hot enclosures, outdoor UV, repeated shock, sustained structural load, or safety-critical motion.

MAT_02

Matte PLA

Matte Black

BEST FOR

Demo robots, visible housings, camera or sensor shrouds, presentation parts, and low-glare external components.

APPLICATION LIMIT

Use the finish to improve presentation and visual inspection; validate the same thermal and mechanical limits as any PLA part.

MAT_03

PETG Basic

Orange

BEST FOR

Strong functional brackets, cable guides, clips, housings, field-test parts, and handled components that benefit from extra toughness.

APPLICATION LIMIT

Do not assume suitability near high heat, aggressive chemicals, prolonged UV, sustained structural load, repeated shock, or safety-critical motion.

MAT_04

PETG HF

White or Black

BEST FOR

Brackets, cable guides, clips, housings, and repeat robotics parts with a consistent finish.

APPLICATION LIMIT

PETG HF has different published mechanical values from PETG Basic. Validate heat, chemicals, UV, load, shock, fatigue, and failure risk.

MAT_08

ASA

Black

BEST FOR

Outdoor sensor housings, electronics covers, and fixtures exposed to sunlight and weather.

APPLICATION LIMIT

Larger or dense parts are more susceptible to warping. Geometry, wall thickness, and print orientation affect dimensional accuracy and fit.

BEST FOR

Stiff alignment fixtures, tooling, and bracket prototypes where heat resistance matters.

APPLICATION LIMIT

Strength varies with print orientation and moisture conditioning. The dry XY test values should not be used as the strength of every feature or loading direction.

MAT_06

TPU 85A

Black

BEST FOR

Soft contact pads, cushioning prototypes, and compliant covers for testing contact and fit.

APPLICATION LIMIT

Flexibility depends on wall thickness, infill, and geometry. Avoid exposure to acids or alkalis; Bambu does not publish an HDT or Vicat value for TPU 85A.

MAT_07

TPU 95A HF

Black

BEST FOR

Firmer flexible grips, protective covers, cable sleeves, and guards for prototype integration.

APPLICATION LIMIT

TPU 95A HF remains flexible and does not replace a rigid structural material. Avoid exposure to acids or alkalis; Bambu does not publish an HDT or Vicat value for TPU 95A HF.

TURNAROUND // EXPECTATIONS

Match turnaround to the next build milestone.

Fast service is most useful when the team knows which system question the part must answer next.

BENCH BUILD

Same-day candidates for blocking interface parts

Small, straightforward brackets, guides, spacers, or covers may qualify for same-day rush when they are holding up a local assembly or test.

ITERATION LOOP

Often 24–48 hours for normal prototypes

Use the standard window for fit checks, housing revisions, routing changes, and assembly aids that need a technician review but are not tied to a same-day event.

PILOT FLEET

Batch timing follows total machine hours

When one accepted part becomes a small fleet, schedule from quantity and the complete build rather than assuming prototype timing applies to every unit.

PART EXAMPLES // APPLICATIONS

Common 3D-printed parts for robotics teams.

These parts are valuable because they let the team change mechanical interfaces without waiting for hard tooling or a distant supplier.

PART_01

Sensor and camera brackets

Position perception hardware, validate field of view, adjust angles, and test cable access before committing to a later process.

PART_02

Electronics housings

Protect boards in controlled prototypes while checking connector openings, service access, airflow packaging, and mounting.

PART_03

Cable routing guides

Organize harness paths, strain-relief concepts, connector locations, and moving-joint clearances during integration.

PART_04

End-effector mockups

Validate envelope, reach, tool access, grasp geometry, and mounting interfaces before selecting a final material or process.

PART_05

Assembly and calibration fixtures

Create nests, alignment tools, gauge holders, target mounts, and setup aids around the current robot revision.

PART_06

Battery and connector fit checks

Verify packaging, removal access, retention concepts, and cable bend space without treating the prototype as a final safety enclosure.

BEFORE PRODUCTION // CHECKLIST

Evaluate the part in the complete robot.

Printability is only one gate. The robotics team owns the application-level validation that determines whether the part is safe and fit for use.

01

Define the interface

Identify what the part mounts, protects, routes, spaces, or locates, and which surrounding geometry controls success.

02

Flag loads and heat

Check static load, shock, vibration, fatigue, motor and electronics heat, outdoor exposure, and failure consequences before choosing a material.

03

Prototype access and service

Use the print to test fasteners, connector reach, tool access, battery removal, wire paths, and maintenance sequence.

04

Promote only after validation

A part that works on the bench may still need another material, manufacturing process, inspection plan, or design change before field use.

KNOWLEDGE BASE // FAQ

Questions about 3d-printed robotics parts.

These answers describe the current AIURION print service. The actual file, application, quantity, and active production queue determine the final plan.

01 What kinds of robotics parts can AIURION print?

Common fits include sensor and camera brackets, electronics housings, cable guides, fixtures, interface mockups, and flexible pads or guards. The catalog covers PLA, Matte PLA, PETG Basic, PETG HF, ASA, PPA-CF carbon fiber nylon (high-temp polyamide), TPU 85A, and TPU 95A HF. Select around the operating conditions and validate the part in the assembly.

02 Can you print structural robot parts?

AIURION can print structural prototypes and fixtures, including PPA-CF carbon fiber nylon (high-temp polyamide) parts where stiffness and heat resistance matter. Published material data does not establish the strength of a finished bracket or every loading direction. Your team must validate geometry, orientation, sustained load, temperature, impact, and fatigue in the complete assembly. Certified and safety-critical robot hardware is outside this service.

03 How quickly can I get a robotics prototype?

Many simple parts are completed within 24 to 48 hours, and same-day rush is available for urgent feasible requests. Quantity, supports, geometry, print time, and capacity determine the confirmed schedule.

04 What is the maximum part size?

The current production capacity supports parts up to 300 × 320 × 325 mm, approximately 11.8 × 12.6 × 12.8 inches. Orientation and geometry still determine whether a specific part fits the process.

05 Are robotics CAD files handled through cloud services?

No. Uploaded part files are processed and stored on internal bare-metal infrastructure, and production files transfer locally to air-gapped printers.

06 Can I order several parts for a robot assembly?

Yes. Quote each printable component and add the parts to one build before checkout. Use the technical consultation path when fit across the assembly requires additional review.
