Student, Mike Boutin studying microelectronics and robotics at Cégep Gérald-Godin in Sainte-Geneviève, Montreal, Quebec, Canada built this robot named “Analysis Prime” using 3D printed parts, built at MatterThings’ 3D print shop. PLA (polylactic acid) a bio-plastic was used, which is derived from renewable resources - corn starch.
The purpose of this robot is to measure signals at different points (connectors) of an electronic board platform (like the ones we usually find in electronic gadgets such as tv, radio, etc.).
Étudiant, Mike Boutin est en train d’étudier la microélectronique et la robotique au Cégep Gérald-Godin à Sainte-Geneviève, Montréal, Québec, Canada. Il a construit ce robot nommé «Analysis Prime» à l’aide des pièces imprimé en 3D à la boutique de MatterThings. PLA (acide polylactique) un bio-plastique a été utilisé, qui est dérivé de ressources renouvelables - amidon de maïs.
Le but de ce robot est de mesurer des signaux à différents points (connecteurs) d’une plate-forme de carte électronique (comme ceux que nous trouvons habituellement dans les gadgets électroniques tels que la télévision, la radio, etc.).

Wow this is really cool! How many parts were actually 3D printed?
Thanks! All the red and blue parts you see in the photos were 3D printed.
Compliments! For the next time I suggest you a … stand for camera!
Really cool!
For students and hobbyists an Arduino platform is also great to learn the electronics/programming interfacing with servos to move the 3D printed parts.
