Siemens Unveils Revolutionary 3D Printing Spiders

The renowned company Siemens has once again astonished its clients with groundbreaking innovations. Recently, researchers at the robotics laboratory in Princeton, New Jersey, have developed 3D printers in the form of spider robots. Inspired by insects that can intricately weave complex structures from spider silk, these robots are a marvel of modern engineering.

Printing Spider Silk

The Siemens Spiders, as these robots are called, can print three-dimensional models of any size. Operated similar to real spiders, if one robot runs out of printing material, it returns for a refill while its colleagues continue working on their designated areas according to the program. These spider robots have the potential to produce large parts such as car or airplane bodies, ship hulls, space equipment components, and much more.

Siemens is currently focusing on the ambitious project "Fast and Flexible Production Systems" aimed at enhancing the strength of large parts. Previously, these parts were manufactured in sections and later assembled. The newly printed monolithic parts are not only stronger but also more reliable. Modern printers are no longer limited to plastic; they can now create metallic parts and even components of living organisms using real cells. During trials, researchers used cornstarch as a printing material, with plans to integrate laser technologies in the printers in the future.

Seamless Spider Robotics

Siemens has been developing this project since 2014, achieving unprecedented success by implementing automatic task distribution among multiple robots. The ongoing work includes adapting the spider robots to various additive manufacturing technologies.

Although the official launch of this innovation is pending as developers strive to refine the technology further, it is worth noting that Siemens invested over 20 million euros in a Swedish metal additive manufacturing company in 2016. The collaboration with Airbus continues, focusing on developing 3D models for the aerospace industry.
