A team from POLITEHNICA Bucharest developed a mechatronic system to test the strength of 3D printed components. This innovation measures the force at which a piece fails, providing insights into material performance. The project aims to optimize manufacturing parameters and reduce material waste. It will be open-source, allowing universities and labs to adapt and improve the system. The team received the Technological Innovation Award at RoboFest 2026, highlighting the importance of practical solutions in research.
