====== Leaf ======

The leaf is a basic Pneunet design that is based on the [[soft-robotics:slow-pneunet|Slow Pneunet]] architecture. It is based on a research by Harvard University and the molds are designed by [[https://pure.itu.dk/portal/en/persons/jonas-joergensen(8758dd24-d86a-4dab-be44-fa4e9e903141).html|Jonas Jørgensen]] - Researcher at the IT University of Copenhagen.

===== Fabrication =====
The fabrication process is based on the [[soft-robotics:slow-pneunet|slow pneunet]] design and is similar to the one of the [[soft-robotics:molds:triangle|triangle]] mold and the [[soft-robotics:molds:gripper|gripper]] mold.

===== Mold files =====
The mold can be laser cut using the following {{ :soft-robotics:molds:lasercut-molds-all.pdf | diagrams}}


===== Machine Limitations =====
The mold can be either 3d printed or laser cut, but the laser cut version would result in a more flat actuator.

===== 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 =====
The air inlet is typical for slow pneunet designs:
