Additive Manufactured Compliant Mechanisms for Robotic and Medical Applications
Considering the Potential of Additive Manufacturing for the Development of Compliant Elements in Medical and Robotic Applications
Additive Manufacturing is capable of creating individual parts of great complexity and functionality, which enhances the characteristics of a product. As a result, highly compact, lower cost and light-weight products are rapidly fabricated and customized. These capabilities are demanded nowadays in many advanced industrial technologies like in prosthetic, aerospace, robotics and surgical applications. Such compliant devises are developed successfully by pdz by using several metallic and plastic 3D-printing processes. More information:
