- | The Fast Bending Actuator is the most basic Pneunet design that is based on the [[soft-robotics:fast-pneunet|Fast Pneunet]] architecture. | + | The Fast Bending Actuator is the most basic Pneunet design that is based on the [[soft-robotics:fast-pneunet|Fast Pneunet]] architecture. Its design is based on the research paper by Dr. Bobak Mosadegh: [[http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/adfm.201303288/full|Pneumatic Networks for Soft Robotics that Actuate Rapidly]]. |

+ | ===== Fabrication ===== | ||
+ | The fabrication process is described in detail on the [[http://softroboticstoolkit.com/book/pneunets-fabrication|Soft Robotics Toolkit page]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Mold files ===== | ||
+ | The [[http://softroboticstoolkit.com/book/pneunets-downloads|Downloads]] section on the toolkit website contains all of the molds. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Our variations ==== | ||
+ | We have made several variations on the molds: | ||
+ | * One | ||
+ | * Two | ||
+ | * Three | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Machine Limitations ===== | ||
+ | The bottom half of the top layer cannot be laser cut. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Quantities ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Basic shape === | ||
+ | * Top layer: ~35g | ||
+ | * Base Layer: ~5g | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Oven times ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Basic shape === | ||
+ | * [[soft-robotics:silicones:dragonskin30|Dragon Skin 30]]: ~35min | ||
+ | * [[soft-robotics:silicones:ecoflex30|Ecoflex 30]]: ~15min | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Air inlet ===== | ||
+ | From the toolkit website: | ||
+ | <code> | ||
+ | Using a thin metal rod, pierce the end of the actuator, an equal distance from both sides | ||
+ | and about 1/8” (3mm) from the bottom. Aim the rod slightly downwards and don’t push it in too far. | ||
+ | The goal is to reach the central channel without puncturing any of the actuator’s walls. | ||
