Ultimaker S3 is used to develop an automatic delivery robot to solve the last mile problem of logistics

Introduction:3D printingIn recent years, the machine has been more and more accepted by some new enterprises, thanks to its ability to accelerate product iteration and the good performance of terminal tools,

To design-stable, reliable and durable.

Ultimaker, a global leader in professional 3D printing, recently announced that Japanese practical technology company Final Aim, Inc. used Ultimaker S3 to quickly design the first automated delivery robot Camello to be put into use in Singapore.
Camello is designed to solve common problems in Singapore’s logistics distribution chain-high transportation costs and operational complexity. Due to low loads and long waiting times in the loading and unloading areas, package delivery is often inefficient-high volumes and tight delivery deadlines exacerbate this situation. In order to meet this challenge, Final Aim worked closely with Singaporean robotics startup OTSaw Digital PTE LTD, and Camello came out.

This robot has reached cooperation with large industry companies such as NTUC FairPrice and DHL, and is providing delivery services for parcels and groceries. Camello is a user-friendly robot with ergonomic cargo space and stylish design-more suitable for the urban environment of Singapore.It is currently being planned to be applied to key industry enterprises, express companies and retailers across Singapore to create an improved ecosystem to provide customers with smooth and efficient express services, while increasing the

3D printing allows us to turn many ideas into reality. Ultimaker S3 is very easy to operate, which gives me extra time to develop new designs while printing. With the addition of Ultimaker Breakaway and Ultimaker PVA consumables, my printing experience has become more efficient. I am very satisfied with the quality of the output because it does not leave any supporting structure. Compared with other common prototyping methods, we found that 3D printed prototyping is more efficient.

Like any product, Camello’s design has gone through several stages. In the whole process, Ultimaker S3, Ultimaker Cura and CAD
software
Both played well with Yasu and Final Aim.

The first is the concept development and evaluation of robots. From creation to conception, he uses hand-drawn design sketches and CAD software. Once he proposed the idea, Yasu began to introduce the idea to senior management, front-line members, and end users. This multi-party approach allows Yasu to get as much feedback as possible, which he can then use to refine, improve, and further enrich his concepts.

Next is the prototyping phase. Because Yasu has many ideas that are still in his mind, he needs to implement them quickly-usually within a tighter deadline. Fortunately, this is a task that 3D printing can easily handle. Compared with other common prototyping methods, such as sculpting or sculpting with foam, chemical wood or industrial clay, 3D printing is much more efficient-freeing up time for Yasu to complete other design tasks.

Yasu said: “3D printing not only cuts costs, but also adds value to my craft.”
Yasu is also responsible for ensuring the quality of Camello’s final design. Because his works often incorporate organic surfaces and contours, this is often difficult to achieve, which requires many iterations. 3D printing technology uses the contour layer of the printout to analyze the curvature of the surface-essentially equivalent to the zebra stripe implemented in CAD software.
3D printing enables stakeholders to see and touch physical products, deepen their understanding of Camello’s concept and design, while simplifying and speeding up the decision-making process.
