A three-dimensional printing apparatus () allowing a linear filament (F) in which a fiber bundle (C) is impregnated with resin (P) to be continuously ejected includes twisting means () for allowing a total amount of twisting of the filament (F) or an amount of twisting of the fiber bundle (C) to be changed.

Three-dimensional printing apparatus

A three-dimensional printing system () includes: a head () to which a first continuous material (FL) including a resin and a second continuous material (FB) including fibers are fed; a platform () on which a printing material based on the first and second continuous materials from the head is stacked; a cutting device () which is capable of cutting at least fibers; and a controller () which controls an operation device including at least one of the head, the platform, and the cutting device.

Three-dimensional printing system, three-dimensional printing method, molding device, fiber-containing object, and production method thereof

A robot system for carrying out a plurality of operations during assembly or maintenance of an aircraft or spacecraft includes a first robot having a base portion, a movable robot arm having a first coupling portion, and a first control means for controlling the robot arm, a plurality of second robots having movement means, a drive portion operable to drive the movement means, a tool portion having a tool for carrying out a specific one of the operations, a second coupling portion adapted to be selectively and releasably coupled with the first coupling portion in a predetermined positional relationship, and a second control means for controlling the respective second robot. The first and second control means are adapted to control the drive portion of one of the second robots and the robot arm to couple the first coupling portion and the respective second coupling portion in the predetermined positional relationship.
