Scan&Sand is able to adjust to complex new shapes in just minutes.

Description:
RBRlogoGrayMatter’s Scan&Sand is a uniquely flexible robotic sander. Scan&Sand can adjust to different object shapes and sizes in just minutes. Typical robotic sanders are used only in mass production, where a sander works on hundreds of pieces of the exact same size and shape. Scan&Sand is able to adjust to objects with complex geometry precisely and quickly. Everytime the robotic system encounters a part, it treats it like a brand new one.

Analysis:
Scan&Sand’s quick adjustment times and flexibility are what make it stand out from other robotic sanders. Operators do not need to know how to code to program the robot, and can learn how to program it in just a few hours. 

Scan&Sand can work with a variety of products ranging from 1 m to 12 m. The robot can handle parts of different materials like composites, metals, solid surfaces, acrylics, plastics, wood and stone. Additionally, the robot can be deployed on existing shop floors without drastically changing infrastructure. Altogether, Scan&Sand’s exceptional flexibility and easy implementation make it surpass typical robotic sanders. - Brianna Wessling
