Glass Fiber Nylon Topology Lightweight Link Bracket

The robot main joint housing is crafted from a solid 7075 aerospace-grade aluminum billet using 5-axis simultaneous CNC machining. This advanced process allows for the creation of intricate internal channels, irregular mounting surfaces, and a lightweight, topology-optimized structure—all in a single setup. The result is a component that offers exceptional rigidity, precision, and smooth motion.

Since its establishment in 2005, KT has grown into a leading provider of advanced 3D printing services, specializing in the production of high-performance components for industries such as aerospace, robotics, automotive, and industrial automation. With a state-of-the-art additive manufacturing facility, KT utilizes technologies such as SLA, SLS, and metal 3D printing to produce complex geometries, lightweight structures, and high-precision functional parts.

Material Description

The main body adopts PA66+30% glass fiber reinforced nylon, a professional industrial powder material for SLS printing. It has high rigidity, high torsional strength, heat resistance, wear resistance and vibration resistance. Its mechanical performance is close to aluminum alloy, with much lower density and outstanding lightweight advantages. PEEK high-temperature performance nylon is optional for high-end working conditions.

Core Characteristics

  1. Topology Lightweight Design: Bionic hollow optimized structure, reduces weight by more than 45% compared with solid parts with the same shape, while maintaining complete tensile & torsional strength.
  2. One-piece Integrated Molding: Multiple clamping holes, positioning bosses and hollow ribs are integrally printed, without assembly gaps or stress failure risks.
  3. Excellent Vibration Resistance: Nylon material has much better damping performance than metal, suitable for high-frequency vibration conditions of UAVs and robots.
  4. Rapid Custom Development: No mold required, direct printing from digital models, sample delivery within 72h, ideal for non-standard low-volume R&D projects.
  5. High Structural Freedom: Supports complex internal hollow & bionic topology special shapes that cannot be realized by CNC machining.
