While each function serves a unique purpose specific to the task it will execute, they all utilize an essential component known as End-of-Arm tooling (EOAT).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditionally, companies that produce EOAT have used extruded aluminum, or machined aluminum frames, often making them heavy and cumbersome. One manufacturer however, has found a solution to reduce weight without sacrificing strength or durability, using 3D printing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.padtinc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/194fd1d2-740f-461a-8cbc-aa0b0bb57545.webp \"  type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.padtinc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/194fd1d2-740f-461a-8cbc-aa0b0bb57545.png\" height=\"58\" width=\"585\" class=\" sp-no-webp\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Download the case study\u00a0to learn more about additive manufacturing&#8217;s place on the factory floor, and how you can use it to eliminate the need for heavy and overly complex parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Create parts that are 50% lighter, and designed based on your needs, not limited by your manufacturing process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<table class=\"wp-block-table aligncenter\"><tbody><tr><td>Download Here<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the factory of the future automation is king.
