Abstract: Apparatus and methods for additively manufacturing adhesive inlet and outlet ports are presented herein. Adhesive inlet and outlet ports are additively manufactured to include additively manufactured (AM) valves for reducing and/or eliminating sealant leakage and backflow. Robot end effectors are tailored to interface with the AM inlet and outlet ports and to provide an adhesive source and/or a vacuum source. AM inlet and outlet ports enable robust, lightweight, multi-material AM parts connected via adhesive joining.

Abstract: One aspect is an apparatus including an additively manufactured component including a surface with an end effector feature, the end effector feature co-additively manufactured with the additively manufactured component and configured to be gripped by a corresponding end effector on a robot. In an aspect, the end effector feature includes a recess in the surface. In another aspect, the recess includes an angled face. In an aspect, the recess has a teardrop shape. An aspect further includes an identification feature. In an aspect, the end effector feature includes a plurality of recesses in the surface. In another aspect, the end effector feature enables a 3-point kinematic self-aligning positive control lock.
