The robots, supplied by Valk Welding, can be utilized for directed energy deposition (DED), a form of additive manufacturing to produce large, strong and usable metal components.
Here, Kimberley Losey, product marketing manager at Autodesk, explains how the mobilized technology could transform the future of the construction industry.
