Support-Free TPU Flexure Mechanism
Compliant MechanismsAdditive ManufacturingTPUFDMMechanical Design
Monolithic TPU compliant mechanism designed for support-free FDM printing — a single-piece flexible structure with no joints or assembly, optimized for Bambu Labs printers.
- Modeled a flexure-based compliant mechanism in CAD for support-free FDM printing
- Designed internal cavities to control elastic deformation without mechanical joints
- Optimized geometry for Bambu Labs FDM — no overhangs over 45°, no supports required
- Iterated on wall thickness and cavity spacing to tune stiffness and bending behavior
