One of the most fascinating possibilities of Additive Manufacturing technologies is their capability to realize objects that include various types of joints and moving parts. The research presented in this paper proposes to embed elastic elements in these joints in order to control their compliance. Two applications are also presented, in order to demonstrate, firstly, the practical feasibility of this innovative joint, and, secondly, the possibility to control joint elastic behavior in order to force the connected parts to automatically return to their initial positions when the actuating load is removed.

Abstract
One of the most fascinating possibilities of Additive Manufacturing technologies is their capability to realize objects that include various types of joints and moving parts. The research presented in this paper proposes to embed elastic elements in these joints in order to control their compliance. Two applications are also presented, in order to demonstrate, firstly, the practical feasibility of this innovative joint, and, secondly, the possibility to control joint elastic behavior in order to force the connected parts to automatically return to their initial positions when the actuating load is removed.File in questo prodotto:
