Their Franka Production 3 robot system demonstrates the immense capabilities through an automated assembly line process. In order to successfully demonstrate the robots\u2019 potential during the exhibitions and trade shows, they designed an automated assembly line with 2 robotic systems performing a custom engraving operation and assembling a bottle opener from 2 parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Showcasing Robotics Through Real-World Demonstrations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Partnering with Xometry, Franka Robotics sought to produce two essential metal parts for their demos: CNC machined handle with a cosmetic anodised finish and thin sheet metal inlay for a bottle opener assembly. Both components were manufactured in quantities of 3000 pieces each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watch this interview conducted by Nick Chambers, Director of Portfolio Business Strategy at Franka Robotics, with Nikolaus Mroncz, Head of Sales Engineering at Xometry, at the exhibition where Franka Robotics showcased their the Franka Production 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Engineering Support for High-Quality Components<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Xometry&#8217;s engineering support team provided invaluable guidance on material selection, particularly for the 2 mm inlay sheet metal part. It was crucial for this component to be thin, cost-effective, yet strong enough to withstand repeated use without bending. The team initially navigated through numerous iterations and material options, including plastic and steel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n    <section class=\"article-slider-block\">\r\n        <div class=\"article-content-wrapper\">\r\n            <!-- Swiper -->\r\n            <div class=\"swiper article-slider-display\">\r\n                <div class=\"swiper-wrapper\">\r\n                                                <div class=\"swiper-slide\">\r\n                                <img decoding=\"async\"  src=\"https:\/\/xometry.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Franka-Robotics_1.jpg\" alt=\"\"\r\n                                  >\r\n                                <div class=\"article-slider-text\">\r\n                                    <p>u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400;u0022u003eA bottle opener assembled and engraved by Franka Production 3 (the components were manufactured with Xometry)u003c\/spanu003e<\/p>\n                                <\/div>\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n                            \r\n                                                        <div class=\"swiper-slide\">\r\n                                <img decoding=\"async\"  src=\"https:\/\/xometry.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Franka-Robotics_2.webp\" alt=\"\"\r\n                                  >\r\n                                <div class=\"article-slider-text\">\r\n                                    <p>u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400;u0022u003eA bottle opener assembled and engraved by Franka Production 3 (the components were manufactured with Xometry)u003c\/spanu003e<\/p>\n                                <\/div>\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n                            \r\n                                            <\/div>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n            <div thumbsSlider=\"\" class=\"swiper article-slider-list\">\r\n                <div class=\"swiper-wrapper\">\r\n                                            <div class=\"swiper-slide\">\r\n                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/xometry.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Franka-Robotics_1.jpg\" alt=\"\">\r\n                        <\/div>\r\n                                                <div class=\"swiper-slide\">\r\n                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/xometry.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Franka-Robotics_2.webp\" alt=\"\">\r\n                        <\/div>\r\n                                        <\/div>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/section>\r\n    \n\n\n<p>Following Xometry&#8217;s recommendation, Franka Robotics team chose aluminium 7075, renowned for its strength and durability.
