Partnerships
From Compact Cobots to Industrial Robots
The right integration depends on robot payload, reach, controller, material, deposition rate, and application. MD supplies complete cells and configured MDX integration packages for supported platforms.
ABB Value Provider — Additive Manufacturing
ABB Robotics — Value Provider
Massive Dimension is an ABB Value Provider specializing in robotic additive manufacturing. MD supports ABB cobot and industrial-robot installations with pellet extrusion equipment, process controls, robot interfaces, and application engineering.
Available configurations range from the compact GoFa-based MDAC1 to custom industrial LFAM cells. RobotStudio workflows support offline programming, simulation, and production planning.
Authorized System Integrator
FANUC — Authorized System Integrator
As a FANUC Authorized System Integrator, Massive Dimension can configure pellet-extrusion packages and complete printing cells around FANUC robotic platforms.
This path is especially useful for manufacturers that already operate FANUC equipment and want to add LFAM capability while staying within a familiar robotics ecosystem. Robot, controller, payload, reach, and software requirements are reviewed before a system is quoted.
Supported Integration
Universal Robots
Massive Dimension supports pellet-extrusion integrations for selected Universal Robots platforms. Their compact footprint and accessible programming make UR cobots well suited to research, education, and application-development environments.
Compatibility is reviewed by robot model, payload, reach, controller generation, and required material throughput before a configuration is quoted.

OEM Co-Development
BigRep + MDX
Massive Dimension and BigRep are developing an MDX pellet-extrusion integration for the BigRep ONE platform. The program combines MD pellet-processing experience with BigRep's industrial gantry architecture.
The integration is being developed for tooling, molds, fixtures, and large functional parts. Final specifications, availability, and supported configurations are subject to completion of the development and validation program.
BigRep ONE platform
Toolpath, Simulation & Robot Programming
Software is selected around the robot, geometry, deposition strategy, and production requirements. MD can help define the workflow during system configuration.
Aibuild CAM, formerly AiSync, provides toolpath generation and process-planning capabilities for large-format additive manufacturing, including robotic and gantry systems.
Available capabilities include multi-axis toolpaths, process analysis, collision-aware workflows, reporting, and tooling-focused design functions. Platform suitability is confirmed for each project.
AdaOne by ADAXIS generates robotic additive-manufacturing toolpaths for planar, non-planar, multi-planar, and other advanced deposition strategies.
MD has used AdaOne in ABB-based workflows, including multi-axis demonstrations. Robot and post-processor compatibility is reviewed as part of each integration.
ABB's 3D Printing PowerPac supports additive-manufacturing workflows inside RobotStudio. It can be used with standard or advanced toolpath sources to create ABB robot programs for configured MD systems.
RobotStudio provides offline simulation, collision avoidance, and digital twin capability before any physical motion occurs — a significant advantage for both production environments and educational settings where simulation-first workflows reduce learning curves and risk. ABB's STEM education packages bundled with MDAC1 deployments include RobotStudio access.
MD can evaluate integrations for KUKA, Yaskawa, Stäubli, and other robot or motion platforms. These projects are configured around the specific robot, controller, payload, reach, I/O, and safety requirements.

Pellets Selected for the Application
MD works with material suppliers to evaluate pellet feedstocks for LFAM. Final suitability depends on the extruder configuration, dryer, feed system, nozzle, process settings, and part requirements.
Polymaker's PolyCore™ family includes pellet materials developed for large-format additive manufacturing, including unfilled, fiber-reinforced, weather-resistant, flexible, and recycled-content grades.
Contact MD to discuss the grade, drying requirements, nozzle selection, target throughput, and application before specifying a material.
Massive Dimension and Filabot have processed ecoPLAS®, a limestone-filled pellet compound supplied by REearthable.
Performance, environmental claims, regulatory status, and end-of-life behavior should be evaluated against the supplier's current technical documentation and the requirements of the finished application.
MD is evaluating Dahltram™ pellet materials from Airtech Advanced Materials Group for tooling and other demanding LFAM applications.
Contact MD for the current validation status and to discuss sample processing for a specific Dahltram grade.
Additional validated pellet partnerships are in development. Contact MD to discuss material qualification for your specific application.
