What's included in the folder:* STEP files - contains 4 files, all in STEP format; a shaft, a compliant part, a coupler and finally an assembly.* Images - contains snapshot of the assembly and various parts.Motive:Compliant mechanism is a very interesting field. It uses the advantage of conventional machinery as its underlying principle. It is said that if a mechanical part bends, it is flawed or defected. However, compliant mechanism works in the very specific way parts bend. An added advantage to these parts is that they can be manufactured by conventional methods or by additive manufacturing (depending on the complexity of the part.).
