Why print a robot?

Why are we printing a robot? With pib, we not only want to shape the future together, we also want to break down barriers. Existing sets are often very expensive and complicated to build. Our vision is that everyone should be able to build and design their own robot.

So we decided to create a DIY robot using a 3D printer: Here, everyone can decide for themselves whether they want to print the complete robot or just individual parts. Whether one would like to adopt the printing instructions 1:1 or redesign them according to one’s own ideas. With the 3D printer as a tool, we hope to attract as many enthusiasts from the maker and robotics scene as possible and bring them into our community – are you in?
