Anycubic’s latest innovation could redefine what users expect from portable 3D printers, and has already won the iF Design Award 2025, but the company has offered no official launch date.
Lol of course they haven’t, this is a concept idea with probably zero engineering hours put in to it yet. This is their designers thinking “ooh, this would be super neat!” And their marketing team going “fuck yeah!”
It looks a lot like a typical robotic arm used in manufacturing. A quick Google shows that there are a number of desk mounted versions available, but I have no idea what kind of accuracy they offer. It shouldn’t be that complicated of a design and since most approaches use encoders things like missteps should be a thing of the past.
I can’t see pulling this off at a home user price point without pretty big compromises on positioning accuracy and/or giving up on feedback.

I mean, I agree, if they can pull it off, it is super neat
Those darn lazy engineers. I mean the entire thing is basically done as you can see from the picture!
Those darn engineers just have to put it in that box and make it move, what’s the big deal. Slowpokes
