FUNCTIONS
3D Printing
As a robotic arm, Dobot Magician is precise enough for 3D printing models with nice finishing,
it is comparable with many other 3D printers on the market. Thanks to its two extra stepper
motor ports, Dobot Magician can also do double color 3D printing. Dobot Magician is
compatible with mainstream open-source 3D printing software like Repetier Host and
Pronterface.
Writing & Drawing
With its high precision and stability, Dobot Magician can draw smooth lines. On its PC
software you can customize the image’s size and position. You can also use your own
customized texts and images for drawing, where you can be as creative as you want.
Laser Engraving (available in Educational version only)
Dobot Magician can engrave not just lines, it can also sketch images with shades. Its powerful
laser head is capable of engraving on harder materials like leather and wood.
Only available in the Educational version.
Grabbing and Sucking
With grabber and sucker accessories, Dobot Magician can move small objects. By customizing
its movements, you can use it to help you out in some situations.
Teach & Playback
You can build up a list of movements for Dobot Magician to execute. You can also make
Dobot Magician memorize movements by simply dragging it, and make it repeat by one click.
You can also customize its movements by more accurately setting parameters on its PC
software, where the playback list can be manually edited.
Visualized Programming
Dobot Blockly is a visualized programming environment developed for Dobot Magician, based
on Google’s open-source platform Google Blockly. On Dobot Blockly you can program by
simply putting puzzles together, it is intuitive and highly readable. It also integrated exclusive
API for Dobot Magician, you can use them right away.
Multi-Dobot Cooperation
Through WIFI connection or connecting both machines to an external board, you can control
multiple Dobot Magicians all at once. This not only saves you controlling devices, but also
improved efficiency in operating and calibrating.
ADVANTAGES
Cutting edge functions
Dobot Magician is the first robotic arm that can do 3D printing in consumer market. The
advantage of high precision and switchable tool heads enables many ways to play it: 3D
printing, laser engraving, pick & place, write & draw…combining them brings out even more
fun, and unlimited creativity as well.
Graphical programming environment
Dobot Magician has the most multifunctional ever robotic arm UI. Besides script (Python), it
also has a graphical programming environment, where you can write codes by simply piling
up blocks! What a colourful and intuitive way to understand coding, robot controlling and
automation!
