Preface: On January 11, 2025, the Second Hand Rose Band held a themed concert “Welcome to Northeast China” in Changchun. They made a breakthrough in stage design and construction by using robotic arm particle 3D printing technology. This is the first time in the country that similar technology has been used for stage design presentation, presenting users with a highly distinctive visual feast. The entire 3D printing solution (including deep design and processing construction) for this performance is the responsibility of Imai Intelligence and Zhonghong Technology team.

Stage design presentation: Can 3D printing become a new choice in manufacturing?

The modeling of traditional dance art is usually presented by foam carving, which is low in cost, fast in processing, and more convenient for transportation. Its disadvantages are poor strength, poor fire resistance, poor environmental protection, relatively poor presentation of details, and lack of choice of materials.

The advantages of robot arm pellet 3D printin: It has extremely high production flexibility and can be used for large-scale non planar printing molding. In this stage, the large and small circular rings are printed on curved surfaces and cut divergently along the circular dots, making each individual part similar to a fan-shaped block manufacturing, and finally assembled into a shape. The maximum diameter span of the entire circular ring reaches 16 meters.

The advantages of pellet 3D printing are: it has a very rich material selection, and the cost of particle materials is relatively lower than that of wire. For this stage presentation, recyclable, high transparency, and flame-retardant materials were selected for production.

The traditional three-axis 3D printing scheme is often limited by the lack of processing freedom, requiring a large amount of post-processing at the splicing position, resulting in long production cycles and high costs, making it difficult to present some special shaped designs in the optimal way, and unable to meet the ideas and needs of imaginative stage designers. The six-axis robot arm 3D printing technology may bring revolutionary changes to the stage design market.
