| summary |
This paper describes the design and fabrication process of an adaptive joint using 3D printed mono-material bistable mechanisms. The proposed joint deforms when external forces are applied, achieving two stable states. An x-shaped microstructure (simul-SLE) is designed for the connection portion of the bistable structure inside the joint. 3D-Printing experiments is conducted to explore the possibility of various forms of simul-SLE, which realize bistable by a single material. The experiment primarily solved two problems, namely the selection of materials and how to make the rigid 3D printed material acquires properties of flexibility and softness. Finally, practical applications are shown to prove the future of this joint. |
