Hello,

I want to perform 3D printing with a 6-axis JAKA Zu20 robotic arm. The extruder is a simple Arduino-based device which would pull and melt filament for extrusion. Will I be able to perform such task using RoboDK?

My plan is to start printing simple square objects then move to complex structures gradually. I am very new to this so please feel free to ask me further questions if left unanswered.

Thank you.

You should be able to perform 3D printing with any robot arm using RoboDK, including JAKA Zu20.

I recommend you to take a look at the documentation related to robot machining and 3D printing to get started:

Thank you for your reply. For the simple shapes, should I go for the educational license for students which is $145/year?

[Albert]

For starting with simple shapes and learning purposes, the Educational license is a good option. It provides access to most features needed for student projects and learning. 

Program generation is limited to 1000 lines when using an Educational license. This should allow you to 3D print small parts.

You can find detailed pricing and license options here: https://robodk.com/pricing
