Abstract

New Generation Entrepreneurship and Innovation Application and Research Center The project titled “Design, Modeling, and Prototype Development of a Four-Axis Additive Manufacturing Robotic Arm” , led by Asst. Prof. Mert YILDIRIM, a researcher at YNGIUAM, has been deemed eligible for support by the Scientific Research Projects (BAP) Commission of Istanbul Gelişim University. The project aims to develop a four-axis, high-precision, and modular robotic arm for use in additive manufacturing processes. Within this scope, it seeks to design, model, and produce a prototype of a domestic system featuring interchangeable end effectors and adaptability to various industrial applications, addressing the need of SMEs for low-cost and flexible robotic systems.
