Abstract
A robotic fleet platform for configuring robot fleets with additive manufacturing capabilities includes a fleet resources data store that maintains a fleet resource inventory indicating additive manufacturing systems that can be provisioned with fleet resources and, for each additive manufacturing system, a set of 3D printing requirements, printing instructions that define configuring an on-demand production system for 3D printing, and a status of the additive manufacturing system. The platform includes additive manufacturing system provisioning rules that are accessible to an intelligence layer to ensure that provisioned additive manufacturing systems comply with the provisioning rules. The platform receives a request for a robotic fleet to perform a job and determine a job definition data structure based on the request. The job definition data structure defines a set of tasks for the job. The platform deploys the robotic fleet based on the robotic fleet configuration data structure to perform the job.
