Apparatus and methods are disclosed that are useful for robotic gantry systems that are lightweight while at the same time offering rigidity or stiffness for implementation in Contour Crafting construction and material delivery techniques. The present disclosure is directed to robotic gantry system and material transport apparatus that use of very light structural members that have sufficient compressive strength, but which may otherwise be weak in the presence of bending forces, in conjunction with cables that provide stiffness against bending. Use of such cables provides needed tension while at the same time allowing the robotic gantry system to be very light compared to solid structures, e.g., those with I-beams, etc. Material delivery systems including passive articulated arms are also disclosed.

La présente invention concerne un appareil et des procédés utilisés pour des systèmes de portique robotiques légers en poids tout en offrant une rigidité ou une raideur permettant leur mise en place dans des constructions de réalisation de contour et des techniques de délivrance de matériaux. La présente invention concerne un système de portique robotique et un appareil de transport de matériaux utilisant des éléments structurels très légers ayant une résistance suffisante à la compression mais pouvant sinon être fragiles en présence de forces de flexion, conjointement avec des câbles fournissant de la rigidité à la flexion. L'utilisation de tels câbles fournit la tension nécessaire tout en permettant d'avoir un système de portique robotique très léger par rapport aux structures solides, par exemple celles dotées de poutres en I, entre autres. La présente invention concerne également des systèmes de délivrance de matériaux comprenant des bras articulés passifs.
