摘要

This work presents the development of a robotic additive manufacturing cell based on the LMD-Wire Process. Physical integration involved assembling the cell, installing the robot, print table, Meltio Engine, safety system, and configuring controllers to ensure safe operation. Logical integration followed, connecting the Meltio Engine print head to the robot. A CAD/CAPP/CAM system was developed in alignment with ISO 23247 standard, capable of modeling complex 3D parts and generating cutting strategies for planar and non-planar parts. The CAD model simulates the cell, generates the KUKA KRL code, and sends it to the CAM model, which includes a Digital Twin for real-time monitoring and simulation. Three case studies were conducted with parts of varying parameters, geometries, and sizes, followed by a visual defect classification to assess and improve the deposition process.
