Local Layer Splitting: An Additive Manufacturing Method to Define the Mechanical Properties of Soft Pneumatic Actuators During Fabrication

Additive manufacturing of silicone is increasingly being explored to complement the traditional molding fabrication technique for Soft Pneumatic Actuators (SPAs). However, the mechanical behavior of SPAs is defined by their 3D form, which leads to prioritizing the SPAs mechanical properties over the…
