trinckle paramate software
trinckle has partnered with Kuhn-Stoff GmbH & Co KG, experts in robotics systems, to create a software application that automates the design process, reduces design times and cuts costs.
3D printing solutions developer, trinckle has launched its latest software program, paramate aimed to advance the way custom robotics are additively manufactured.
trinckle has partnered with Kuhn-Stoff GmbH & Co KG, experts in robotics systems, to create a software application that automates the design process, reduces design times and cuts costs. The two companies believe the paramate program will be especially effective in developing custom robotic grippers, which they consider to be a frequent must in manufacturing processes.
The partnership came about as both companies strived to better assist additive manufacturing technology in the generation of custom designs prior to production. Taking hours of design work and considerable knowledge in CAD, trinckle and Kuhn-Stoff wanted to deliver an easy-to-use system which could quicken the process. With robotic grippers an important part of many manufacturing processes, and additive manufacturing an often-used method in their own production, this seemed like a good area to focus their efforts.
“paramate is the ideal solution for the technical and design challenges posed by custom robotic grippers,” said Florian Reichle, trinckle CEO. “Our software’s intelligent algorithms enable manufacturers to benefit even further from AM.”
Kuhn-Stoff has used additive manufacturing in the production of robotic grippers for many years. Bringing the average design time for a custom gripper down from hours to a few minutes, Kuhn-Stoff predict that paramate will also result in significant production improvements. These time savings not only correspond savings in design costs, but also by automating the design process barriers are removed from the production process entirely.

trinckle and Kuhn-Stofff believe the paramate program will be especially effective in developing custom robotic grippers, which they consider to be a frequent must in manufacturing processes.
trinckle’s configurator allows anyone, regardless of their technical skills, to manage the design process. Eliminating the need for specific 3D design or CAD knowledge marks an important progression in product design and a way to improve the accessibility of additive manufacturing for businesses.
“The web-based configurator will grant clients without significant CAD-knowledge access to the design of robotic grippers,” said Hannes Kuhn, the CEO of Kuhn-Stoff. “This is particularly relevant, when, in the construction of such systems, changes have to be made quickly.”
Combining AM with software applications, like paramate, brings opportunities for new business models and enhanced efficiency of existing processes, which trinckle and Kuhn-Stoff expect companies to benefit from. EOS, the leading hardware manufacturer, and long-time production partner of Kuhn-Stoff, is looking forward to integrating this software program in the future.
“With our AM systems, clients can produce robotic grippers that are lightweight, durable, and outperform those made by conventional means. But, many of our clients struggle with the manual design workload for customer-specific components,” said Christian Waizenegger, Business Development Manager Industry, EOS. “The gripper configurator is the missing piece that brings everything together, and can serve as inspiration for countless other industrial applications.”
