Design for Additive Manufacturing Considerations for Self-Actuating Compliant Mechanisms Created via Multi-Material PolyJet 3D Printing

The work herein is, in part, motivated by the idea of creating optimized, actuating structures using additive manufacturing processes (AM). By developing a consistent, repeatable method for designing and manufacturing multi-material compliant mechanisms, significant performance improvements can be s...
