The Slow Bending Actuator is a basic Pneunet design that is based on the Slow Pneunet architecture. It is based on a research by Harvard University and the molds on this wiki are designed by Jonas Jørgensen - Researcher at the IT University of Copenhagen.

The fabrication process is based on the slow pneunet design and is similar to the one of the triangle mold and the gripper mold.

Here are the mold files for the actuator:

• STL Model
• OpenSCAD parametric model
• Lasercat diagrams

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

• Top layer: ~35g
• Base Layer: ~5g

• Dragon Skin 30: ~35min
• Ecoflex 30: ~15min

The air inlet is typical for slow pneunet designs:
