Compliant Hinge Concept
grabcad
The innovative product line showcases the potential of additive manufacturing processes, featuring a one-piece hinge that requires no extra fastenings and allows for adjustable "soft close" functionality. Geometric optimization caters to specific uses without incurring retooling costs. Designed initially for homogeneous thermoplastic construction, varying material thicknesses can influence stiffness. Flexible materials may be specified for compliant components while rigid thermoplastics can boost load-bearing capacity. The gripper geometry, designed for vertical applications like doors, utilizes friction from the door's weight. Alternative slotted fixings can also be implemented based on application needs, such as printed tenons or dovetail designs.
