Abstract
In the last years, beginning from the mid of the eighties, many solutions have been designed for new technologies related to additive manufacturing, AM. The machines proposed have been a natural consequence of CNC machines already present in the market. This basically happened because the attention was focused mainly on production technology and not the machine as a whole. The constraints to which CNC machines are usually submitted, such as lathes or milling machines, are usually different from the requirements of AM machines. In order to follow a typical robotic approach this paper proposes the design of an AM machine based on a MIM, metal injection molding, technology by outlining the design process and by showing how it has been adapted to the specific case in order to consider the specific technology and thus proposing an original solution.
