Thor - Open Source, 3D printable robotic arm

Post by f3nix »

Hi.
This is not my project but I think it is way cool and made using FreeCAD. So I think it deserves mentioning here.

From project summary:

--- CUT ---
Thor is an Open Source and printable robotic arm with six degrees of freedom, designed using FreeCAD.

Its configuration (yaw­-roll­-roll­-yaw­-roll­-yaw) is the same one that is used on most manipulator robots that currently exist in the market.
In its upright position, Thor is about 625mm and it can lift objects up to 750 grams.

I also saw this and am really impressed.
I am thinking about printing it, but in the meantime
have lifted parts and ideas from it.

Great project.
