xTrude

Xaba xTrude is an AI control and process platform for large-scale robotic additive-manufacturing workcells. It carries process knowledge used to coordinate deposition parameters and robotic motion when printing fibre-reinforced polymers, metals or hybrid structures. Xaba presents the software as a transferable control layer that can package a validated fabrication process with the workcell used to execute it.

In Xaba’s automotive chassis case study, xTrude controlled a single robotic cell used to print a three-part fibre-reinforced body structure, with toolpaths aligned to stress directions before finishing operations. The software does not manufacture a part independently: output depends on the connected robot, extruder, material system, design data, process qualification, monitoring and post-processing. Physical printing therefore remains assigned to the integrated fabrication equipment.
