This paper aims to provide research into structural and fabrication methods for a robot effector, specialized for palletizing operations. The goal was to achieve a high-reliability, low-cost gripper, in order to be able transport cylindrical parts. The analysis performed was both of a structural type (by comparing different parameters, such as infill percentage and construction shape) and from a cost perspective. Material choice was also considered, between different types of FDM, and one SLA variant.
