Handling device for a manufacturing environment

A handling device for a manufacturing environment, comprising:

• a manufacturing apparatus for additive manufacturing of an object;
• a robot device;
• a transport device;
• wherein the robot device is configured to interact with at least one component of the manufacturing apparatus;
• a coupling device which is configured to couple the robot device detachably to the transport device;
• wherein the transport device is configured to transport the robot device to at least one workstation and to uncouple the robot device from the transport device by the coupling device;
• and
• a positioning device which is configured to position the robot device relative to the transport device and to position the robot device relative to the at least one workstation, wherein the positioning device is configured as a cup-and-cone connection where a connection partner is conically cone-shaped and engages in a correspondingly conically shaped recess or pocket such that a deviation from a planned position of the robot device relative to the transport device or of the robot device relative to the at least one workstation is compensated for or adjusted by the corresponding conically shaped connection partner and recess or pocket;
• wherein the coupling device comprises a lifting device which is configured to lift up the robot device from a floor at a first workstation such that it is transportable by the transport device and to lower the robot device to set the robot device on the floor at a second workstation.
