WASP CEREBRO Robot Arm Control System
The WASP CEREBRO is a robotic arm control and integration system designed to enable large-format 3D printing using industrial robots. It connects robotic arms with WASP extruders and tools, providing real-time control of motion and extrusion through a web-based interface. Compatible with LDM and FGF technologies, it supports a wide range of materials including plastics, clay, and concrete, making it suitable for research, architecture, and advanced manufacturing applications.
WASP CEREBRO Robot Arm Control System
The WASP CEREBRO is a dedicated control and integration system designed to transform industrial robotic arms into fully functional large-format 3D printing systems. Built to bridge the gap between robotic hardware and additive manufacturing workflows, CEREBRO enables precise control of extrusion, motion, and process parameters across a wide range of WASP tools and materials.
Designed for engineering environments, research labs, and large-scale production setups, the system combines hardware control with a web-based interface for real-time monitoring, G-code management, and remote operation. This makes it suitable for applications such as architectural printing, composite structures, ceramic production, and recycled material extrusion where flexibility and control are critical.
Turn Any Robotic Arm into a 3D Printer
CEREBRO acts as the central control unit for robotic additive manufacturing, allowing seamless integration between robotic arms and WASP extruders. It supports both LDM (Liquid Deposition Modelling) and FGF (Fused Granulate Fabrication), enabling users to work with a wide range of materials and scales.
- Compatible with WASP LDM and FGF extruders and tools
- Supports large-format and robotic 3D printing workflows
- Controls both movement and extrusion systems simultaneously
- Designed for multi-material and experimental applications
Wide Material Compatibility for Industrial Applications
One of the key advantages of the CEREBRO system is its ability to handle a broad spectrum of materials, making it suitable for both research and production. From recycled plastics to construction-grade materials, the system supports workflows that go far beyond standard filament-based printing.
- Plastic pellets and recycled granulates
- Clay, ceramics, and earthen materials
- Concrete, mortars, and foamed materials
- Experimental materials including mycelium-based composites
Full Control via Web-Based Interface
The included web application provides a centralised interface for managing the entire printing process. Users can upload G-code files, monitor live progress, and adjust parameters in real time, making it easier to manage complex or long-duration prints.
- Remote monitoring and control via WiFi or LAN
- Integrated live camera for real-time process visibility
- G-code terminal access for advanced users
- Guided calibration tools for accurate setup
System Specifications and Connectivity
The CEREBRO control unit is built for integration into professional environments, supporting multiple communication protocols and industrial requirements. Its compact footprint allows it to be deployed alongside robotic systems without significant infrastructure changes.
The system operates on standard 220–240V input and supports variable power consumption depending on the connected tools. Connectivity options include WiFi, Ethernet, USB, and Bluetooth, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of robotic platforms and control setups.
For FGF-based systems, compressed air requirements must be considered, with an 8 bar supply recommended for optimal performance.
