Collaborative robots (cobots) have emerged as a flexible solution for enhancing additive manufacturing (AM) processes by enabling precise material deposition and multi-process integration. This paper presents a case study on integrating Universal Robots UR10e cobot with a 3D printing system to improve manufacturing efficiency, scalability, and adaptability. We discuss the system architecture, control strategies, and challenges in synchronization, path planning, and material extrusion. Experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of cobot-assisted AM, highlighting improvements in print quality. To improve the overall accuracy of printing in terms of edge shape and geometric fidelity, a uniform inward offset compensation was applied to eliminate excessive material deposition to both outer and inner wall features, the UR10e robot actively manipulates the hotbed, reducing the idle time between actuation and therefore increasing the fluency of operation. This work also presents a future-proof, modular mechanical design that enables easy transition to a multi-extruder configuration to accommodate future studies. Results demonstrate that the implementation of collaborative robotics in additive manufacturing is a valid enabler of a paradigm shift for the transition towards intelligent, adaptable production systems.
