Large-scale robotic systems with more than three degrees of freedom have been explored for fabrication (in particular, 3dprinting and milling for metals, foam and thermoplastics) by disparate research group and companies around the world. Sustainable materials and the concept of cradle-to-cradle materials have been explored outside the context of additivemanufacturing. The following case-studies explore these differentiated technologies in the context of a robotic hybridmanufacturing system.
