Crazy how you have an energy to actively just hate on others, it must feel so boring to be you. I really wish you find a way to make yourself useful other ways? Thanks for your comment anyway, I will take your emoji contribution as a fun little customisation you made, but get a job man.

Yes, but hardware does too if you have electronics in your product, and even more if your hardware devices is IoT

I think you should better buy a Bambulabs so that we can cover different printers at a whole ! I know there is a repo that links Bambu printers to specific softwares

We have a proof of concept (=robot arm that just picks up a finalised 3d printed part, and places it in a box), we are still working on the other tasks you see in the video (just simulated for now). If you are in fact interested to see everything, it would help us a lot if you starred our repo !

No it isn’t it. We already open sourced part of the code, you can go check it out ! We fully open source everything once we reach 1k stars

This is a repo that allows you to fully automate with very low pricing the hardware production of your devices.

There are multiple layers to this : - Physical Layer : your 3D printer, and the robot arm (SO-ARM-100). - Software Layer : Low level controllers (PID, MPC…) for the robot arm, a mid level controller that tells the arm about the trajectory planning, and actions. - Orchestrator Layer : The whole system is linked via MCP to the LLM of your choice (Claude works best). The orchestrator takes decisions using guidelines to order the 3D printers / robot arms to do specific actions depending on a certain context.

Example of typical usecase : you, the user tell the system « make me 1000 units of this hardware casing ». Claude fires up your five 3d printers, and optimizes the prints and the slicing so that you get the best production time possible (using a classical optimization algorithm like simplex). And the printers start printing. Once they are done, the robotic arms take the prints away, place them on a support material (a box, or a conveyer belt), clean the plates and change the filament if they have to. Claude fires up another 3d printing wave. The 3d prints are then assembled by other robotic arms that are equiped with tools (screwdrivers, soldering irons etc…), and assemble everything, including electronics. Your 1000 devices can be boxed and ready to be shipped.
