Beyond the Build Plate

3D Printers were a revolutionary tool in the makerspace. Overtime, they've gotten faster and more reliable, but they're still limited in terms of function. A benchy today looks the same as a benchy did 10 years ago... It's time to move beyond the build plate.  

With the 401Bot, You'll be able to:

🤖 Create and Share Robot Programs 

🤖 3D Print Your Own Tools, Accessories and Add Ons

​🤖 Create Functional Products, Services and Automations

Why a Robot?

Over the last couple of years, we've seen a rapid integration of artificial intelligence and automation. The way we do things is changing and we want the maker community to be a part of it. 

As Hobbyists and Enthusiasts, our real world impact has been limited by the machines available to us. Until now, most of what we could create has been primary prototypes, trinkets, gadgets, gizmos and personal use objects. With the 401Bot, we're flipping all that upside down and showing we can create practical, functional and real world products, services and automations.

The 401Bot is here to help you scale your passions and your businesses. Robotics and automation have typically only been accessible with large corporate budgets, however, now for the first time, smaller creators will be capable of having huge impacts. 

What's Special About the 401Bot?

Integration of 3D Printing

The rapid innovation in the 3D printing industry has made quality 3D printing extremely affordable. 3D Printing + 401Bot = Unlimited Capabilities. We can now design and 3D print everything from parts for the 401Bot itself to jigs, end effectors, and other automation tools like conveyer belts, sorters, grippers... you name it. With 3D printing and the 401Bot you can automate almost any task. 

Patented Design and Easy Build

The 401Bot is easy to build. It starts with our patent pending design, includes a custom wiring harness and custom electronics, and the 401Bot is controlled using our custom software. It's truly plug and play industrial quality robotics. 

Affordability

Traditional Pre-Built 6-Axis Robotic Arms are extremely expensive. They often start around $10,000-$20,000. In fact, even a simple end effector/gripper can often start at several thousand dollars.

Community

Our goal is always to empower the maker community. Together, we can design and create products, services and automations that will be used in industries around the world. The 401Bot is here to enable entrepreneurs, creators and hobbyists.

401Bot Marketplace

The 401Bot Marketplace allows you to create, share, upload and download all things 401Bot. You can find programs, parts, themes and more from us in our Product Library, and programs, parts, and everything that other users like you have created in the Community Library!

We've Made Industrial Robotics Easy

  • Over the last year and a half, our software team has been working hard to create our own 401Bot software. The 401Bot control software has modes that make it accessible to everyone from complete beginners all the way to seasoned robotics engineers. Simply move the 401Bot and save waypoints, then export as a 401Bot program. We've also integrated the 401Bot with RoboDK, unlocking function for intense industrial and commercial applications.
