In this project I'm turning my industrial robot, an ABB IRB6400, into a 3D-printer. The data is streamed line by line to the robot and the extruder, which has it's own separate controller (RAMPS board). It was a real challange to get the robot's movements to sync up with the extruder but in the end we got some decent results. See the project details for a video of this project.
