3M & GrayMatter Robotics: Automated Sanding & Finishing Made Smarter


  • Join 3M Robotics and Automation and GrayMatter Robotics for our latest webinar on Automated Sanding & Finishing Made Smarter

    Date: Tuesday, June 6th, 2023
    Time: 11:00AM CST

    In this webinar, Ian Foslien, Global Portfolio Leader - Robotics & Automation at 3M, and Dr. Ariyan Kabir, Co-Founder & CEO at GrayMatter Robotics, will discuss the transformation of sanding and finishing solutions through AI-powered automation.

    Automation has traditionally been a challenging and costly option for manufacturing operations dealing with a variety of parts with different sizes, complex shapes, and varying geometries. To address this, 3M and GrayMatter Robotics have partnered to develop an optimized, user-friendly robotic sanding solution that offers improved productivity, cost savings, and consistent, high-quality performance.

    Scan&Sand™, an innovative system from GrayMatter Robotics, uses an onboard camera and advanced AI technology to automate the sanding and finishing processes. The system is capable of handling high-mix parts, part-to-part variations, complex shapes, and challenging geometries. It can help optimize productivity, enhance worker safety, and mitigate labor challenges.

    With advanced AI technology, Scan&Sand™ eliminates the need for traditional robot programming, making it a cost-effective solution. With assistance from GrayMatter Robotics and 3M, shop floor operators can be trained to use Scan&Sand™, further improving the ease of operations.

    Join this webinar to learn how Scan&Sand™, powered by 3M abrasives, can bring the benefits of automation to your manufacturing operation. We look forward to your participation!
