Locking Directional Hinge
grabcad
The initial concept involved designing a versatile hinge that rotates freely in one direction and locks in another, with an option to switch the free-moving and locking directions by pushing the axis like a button. This unique hinge can only be constructed through FDM 3D printing and has a primary application in infant toy boxes to prevent accidents caused by falling lids or entrapment. Additionally, the product's potential applications expand when printed using indirect SLS metal 3D printers, with materials ranging from iron/bronze for general use to IN 625 or IN 718 for the aerospace industry.
