随着精密增材制造技术的引入，特定制造部件的复杂性与传统制造替代方案的复杂性相媲美。然而，这样做的缺点是完成一个物体所需的时间投资，这限制了制造中的其他有利转变的实用性。为了解决这一问题，开发了一种操作双SCARA的多用途混合动力机器（DEXTER），以减少单一和多材料构建的时间。虽然SCARA功能带来了传统机架设置中不固有的新障碍，但进行了优化研究，以最大限度地减少打印性能中的不规则性。确保在传统和双臂方法之间的制造实践中的自然横向移动。在原型设计过程中，目前的DEXTER模型被用于培训下一代的增材思维，并教育他们了解当前的制造方法和设备。这样做创造了一代人，他们具备加入劳动力队伍的技能，准备迎接制造业的新革命。
With the introduction of precision additive manufacturing techniques, the complexity of a particular fabricated part rivals that which is possible with conventional manufacturing alternatives. The drawback to this, however, is the time investment required to bring an object to its completion, which limits the practicality of an otherwise advantageous shift in manufacturing. To counteract this, an ambidextrous multipurpose hybrid machine (DEXTER), operating dual SCARA has been developed to reduce the time of single and multi-material builds. While the SCARA functionality brings forth new obstacles not inherent in conventional gantry setups, optimization studies were performed to minimize the irregularities in print performance. Ensuring a natural lateral movement in manufacturing practices between the traditional and dual arm approach. During prototyping, the current DEXTER model is being used to train the next generation in additive thinking, and to educate them on current manufacturing methods and devices. Doing so creates a generation with the skill set to join the workforce ready to take on the new revolution in manufacturing.
