<p>A desktop robot comprises an interchangeable tool having at least one electrically-powered component; a tool mount for mounting the tool, the robot being operable to control relative movement between the tool mount and an object in three dimensions; complementary first and second electrical couplings on the tool mount and tool respectively, for making an electrical connection to the at least one electrically-powered component of the tool, and complementary first and second tool-less mechanical couplings on the tool mount and tool respectively, for mechanically connecting the tool mount and tool. The desktop robot is arranged to at least improve various performance aspects of known 3D printers, including printing speed, reduced warping due to shrinking of printed articles, and user safety, among others.</p> |
