Materials for Industrial Applications
Aluminum
A popular choice for the robotics industry due to its lightweighting capabilities. Certain alloys also display corrosion resistance, good weldability, and high heat resistance, all important properties to have for applications in the robotics industry.
Stainless Steel
A common material used by those in the robotics industry. Stainless steel is a solid choice for components on robotic applications that need to be durable and survive repeatable processes and harsh conditions.
Acetal/Delrin
Acetal boasts excellent dimensional stability and has low friction, both critical characteristics for robotic components that may be sliding or performing repeatable actions. And it's relatively inexpensive compared to other common materials used in the industry.
Elastomers
Elastomers are becoming increasingly popular in the robotics industry due to the rise of soft robotics, which are used for more delicate tasks that require a less heavy hand. These materials are also used for internal components in standard robots, such as semiconductors and casings where flex is needed.
Common Robotics Applications
We have several capabilities within our manufacturing services catered to the robotics industry. Here are a few applications we frequently see.
- Housings & Casings
- Frames
- Gears
- Motor Components
- Custom Fixtures
- Sensors
- Feedback Devices
- Cameras

Precision Manufacturing for Robotics Industry
Robotics is a diverse, relatively new industry, but most prominent in the industrial and manufacturing sectors. Applications here include robotic arms, collaborative robots (aka cobots), robotic process automation, integrated artificial intelligence (AI), predictive maintenance, and service robots. For components created for the robotics industry, dimensional accuracy is vital. Parts are complex and must be precise to work in sync with other components assembled within a robot. Surviving the stresses of repeatable actions is also essential. Other key considerations include customizability, low-friction surface finishes and complex geometries. And that's why digital manufacturing is uniquely valuable in the production and assembly of parts for the robotics industry.
