Competition & Combat Robotics Applications
From RoboMaster to FRC and WRO, eSUN 3D printing materials deliver lightweight, high-strength, impact-resistant parts — fast. Ideal for drivetrains, brackets, and housings, they cut lead times and support rapid iteration, helping teams stay ahead on the competition floor.
China University of Petroleum (Beijing) SPR Robotics Team
Using ABS-GF filament for drivetrain index plates and fork components, the team achieved superior rigidity and completely eliminated part breakage under high-speed rotation.
BOF Robotics Team
Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics Jincheng College
Using PLA+ for the ammo feed mechanism, the team achieved fast design iteration and reliable, jam-free projectile feeding.
TUP Team
Shenyang Aerospace University
Using ABS Flame-Retardant filament for ECU housings and brackets, the team achieved reliable protection with built-in vibration resistance, flame retardancy, and heat insulation — all in one print.
U.S. Partner: AndyMark
With PA-CF carbon fiber nylon, the team produced a durable rotating wheel assembly capable of withstanding high-load conditions in robotic competitions.
