Difference Between Robotics and Automation
The robotics and automation industries are closely linked. Automation is a broader category that describes the use of machines, computers, and other devices to perform tasks (manual, mathematical, procedural, etc.) that would otherwise be done by human workers. Robotics, on the other hand, is the use of physical robots to perform physical tasks. Robotics and automation often go hand in hand, as in industrial manufacturing. For example, in a car factory, the assembly line often consists of hundreds of manufacturing robots performing automated tasks, sometimes with the help of machine vision. However, automation can exist without robotics (such as in software automation), and robotics can exist without automation (such as a medical robot controlled by a surgeon). As an expert in physical component prototyping, Elimold receives many orders for robotic components. But we can also produce other types of automation parts, such as conveyor belt components, automatic control equipment, and logic controller components.
Precision Manufacturing for Robotics Industry
Robotics is a diverse, relatively new industry, but most prominent in the industrial and manufacturing sectors. Applications here include robotic arms, collaborative robots (aka cobots), robotic process automation, integrated artificial intelligence (AI), predictive maintenance, and service robots. For components created for the robotics industry, dimensional accuracy is vital. Parts are complex and must be precise to work in sync with other components assembled within a robot. Surviving the stresses of repeatable actions is also essential. Other key considerations include customizability, low-friction surface finishes and complex geometries. And that’s why digital manufacturing is uniquely valuable in the production and assembly of parts for the robotics industry.

3D Printed Robots Come in All Sizes
3D printed robotics encompass smaller projects like robotic arms, as well as gripping, clamping, and clasping mechanisms. Many robotics designers are also involved in 3D printing drone frames and complex drone parts with many special features.
Robotics are often created in large batches, intended to perform the same duties–on an assembly line, for instance. Elimold production ensures accuracy and repeatability in parts so that each 3D printed robot is created identically, providing consistency in every project or task.
No matter the size or complexity of the 3D printed robotics project, 3D printing makes the process faster and more efficient. Designers and engineers enjoy tremendous freedom in design, the ability to customize as needed, and unlimited opportunities to iterate during robotics product development.
Injection Molding in the Robotics Industry
Injection molding offers a repeatable option when low- to mid-volume production is required. Piece-part price will often be reduced as quantities increase with our volume pricing model. It’s not the primary manufacturing process used for producing robotic components, it is commonly used for production of housings, frames, and casings, for example. Liquid silicone rubber (LSR) molding is also becoming increasingly common with the introduction of soft robotics.
CNC Machining in the Robotics Industry
CNC machining is an ideal service for robotics development due to precision and dimensional accuracy as well as material selections. Machined parts have tighter tolerances than other services, and 5-axis CNC milling can produce highly complex parts, important for applications that demand precise, repeatable movements. During post-processing, machining allows for controlled surface finishes, which are needed for low-friction components in interactive parts. Machining is perfect for customized robotics components in low quantities.
