Abstract :
The modular robot is constructed by the same shape and function module. It is able to transform and exchange, because it is multiple constitution. However, a mass quantity production of the module is difficult. Then, we focus on 3D printer. It is able to produce on a large scale easily and reasonably, but researchers and engineers need to operate 3D CAD and 3D printer. In this paper, we hold the 3D-CAD and 3D printers´ workshop, and the effect is investigated. Afterwards, we evaluate the mechanical function of the simple module made by 3D printer. In addition, we suggest the modular robot of many modules.
