Summary:Development of an industrial equipment prototype based on a multi-axial robotic arm KUKA KR3 R540 for composite 3D printing with continuous fiber is presented. Composite Filament Co-extrusion Anisoprint technology is taken as a basis of the equipment. The following advantages of the manufacturing equipment are presented in the paper: ability to produce parts of complex spatial shapes with complex spatial reinforcement; mold fabrication in a single process with a part manufacturing. Complex spatial composite structures manufacturing is demonstrated.
