MOD-WELD® and MOD-CUT® systems from APT Manufacturing Solutions help schools, colleges, and workforce training centers introduce students to the next level of welding, cutting, robotics, and advanced manufacturing. Built around FANUC cobots and industrial robots, these systems help programs connect foundational fabrication skills with the automated technologies used in today’s industry.
These robotic fabrication systems can support everything from introductory CTE welding programs to advanced college-level robotics, mechatronics, and smart manufacturing labs.
Students begin by learning safety, materials, joint preparation, measurement, fit-up, workholding, weld quality, and cutting fundamentals.
MOD-WELD® and MOD-CUT® help students see how manual skills transfer into automated workflows, including robot motion, torch positioning, part setup, and repeatability.
Students gain exposure to cobot programming, FANUC interfaces, offline programming, vision, seam tracking, and production-style workflows.
Programs can connect robotic fabrication training to careers in welding, fabrication, robotics operation, automation, advanced manufacturing, and industrial maintenance.
Robotic welding and cutting do not replace foundational hands-on training. They complement it by helping students understand how welding and fabrication skills are applied in modern automated environments.
For high school welding, manufacturing, STEM, and robotics programs, MOD-WELD® and MOD-CUT® systems can introduce students to automation in a way that is approachable, visual, and hands-on.
Best fit: Cobot weld carts, cobot cut carts, mobile travelers, fixture tables, clamp kits, and introductory automation demonstrations.
For community colleges, technical colleges, and workforce training centers, MOD-WELD® and MOD-CUT® systems can support deeper instruction in robotic programming, production workflows, weld quality, process optimization, and industrial automation.
Best fit: Cobot drop centers, robotic weld cells, dual-station systems, rotary tables, H-frame cells, headstock/tailstock systems, offline programming, vision, and seam tracking.
Robotic fabrication systems can support broader credentialing goals by giving students hands-on exposure to the skills used in advanced manufacturing environments. While certification requirements vary by program, MOD-WELD® and MOD-CUT® can complement training aligned to welding, robotics, automation, and manufacturing credentials.
MOD-WELD® cobot systems are well-suited for education because they are approachable, flexible, and designed to help users learn robotic welding without starting with a large industrial cell.
MOD-CUT® systems allow students to explore robotic plasma cutting, toolpath planning, cutting parameters, part setup, and automated fabrication workflows.
For advanced programs, MOD-WELD® robot cells provide exposure to full-scale industrial automation and production-style robotic welding workflows.
Students can gain exposure to the technologies that support modern robotic fabrication, including welding power supplies, plasma cutting systems, programming tools, vision, and seam tracking.
A complete robotic fabrication lab includes more than the robot. Supporting equipment helps students learn setup, safety, organization, repeatability, and real-world fabrication practices.
Whether your program is introducing students to robotics for the first time or expanding into advanced robotic welding and cutting, Tech-Labs can help you compare systems, plan lab layouts, and select the right MOD-WELD® or MOD-CUT® configuration.
Need help choosing between a cobot cart, traveler, drop center, or full robotic weld cell? Our team can help evaluate your curriculum, lab space, budget, and workforce goals.
The MOD-WELD Drop Center Dual Axis Positioner expands what’s possible in robotic welding by combining the power of the FANUC CRX-25iA with two additional FANUC auxiliary axes. This advanced configuration allows parts to both spin and rotate during welding, giving the robot optimal access to complex geometries and hard-to-reach weld zones. In this video, you’ll see how coordinated motion between the robot and positioner improves weld quality, reduces repositioning, and enables consistent results on parts that would otherwise be difficult—or impossible—to weld efficiently. Designed for both education and real-world application, this system demonstrates how multi-axis control brings greater flexibility and precision to modern welding environments.

The BOFA 3D PrintPRO 2 is a low-cost unit that extracts fumes generated by the printer without causing the filament deposition area to be cooled.
It has the benefits of low noise level and minimal power consumption. Each unit is supplied with a connection hose, ‘Stay Put’ arm and conical shaped nozzle.
The BOFA 3D PrintPRO 3 incorporates an externally mounted plenum system which effectively captures fumes generated during the printing process and returns ultra clean, filtered air to the operator’s breathing zone.
The BOFA 3D PrintPRO 3 has the benefits of low cost, low power consumption, and integral speed control. Each filtration unit is supplied with connection hoses and ‘print your own’ plenum instructions.
The BOFA 3D PrintPRO 4 provides a high fume evacuation and filtration rate when connected to a large enclosed 3D printer via its extraction off take point. the system can also return the filtered clean air either back to the printer enclosure for a cleaner print area or to the operator’s breathing zone.
The BOFA 3D PrintPRO 4 combines high flow rate with speed control within a compact free-standing unit.
