| Sumario: | <p id="p1">Traditional planar layer-based additive manufacturing processes face challenges, such as stair-stepping, anisotropy, and support materials. Rotary additive manufacturing technology has demonstrated significant potential for fabricating complex structures owing to its high degree of freedom and efficiency, large scale, and mobility. This chapter provides a comprehensive review of the research progress in Rotary Robotic Additive Manufacturing (RRAM) from the demands for manufacturing and repairing. It offers a detailed introduction to the design and fabrication of unsupported structures, such as large aerospace components (e.g., lattice-structured cylinders and turbine blades), and biomedical applications (e.g., 3D bioprinting of tissue constructs with voids, such as vasculature, intestines, respiratory tissue, and long bones). This chapter also delves into type synthesis for robot-based AM equipment and process planning for cylindrical printing (slicing and path planning). In addition, this study discusses the applications and critical challenges of RRAM technology. Finally, future research directions include multi-material, multi-process hybrid, macro-micro-integrated manufacturing, and intelligent monitoring and control. Overall, by addressing traditional AM’s limitations, RRAM can produce high-quality, unsupported structures with reduced stair-stepping error and improved anisotropy. This chapter is a valuable resource for promoting the growth of rotating components from robotic additive manufacturing.</p> |
