-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.
