SOFT ROBOTICS

16 November 2018

Description of the process:

1. Design the mold in Fusion 360, using "Extrusion" for making what later will be the air conducts.

2. Trabsfer the file to Ultimaker Cura, to prepare the piece to be 3D printed.

3. Print the piece in the 3D printer.

4. Mix the components A and B in the same portion.

5. Spry the mold in order to avoid the material to get sticked on it.

6. Put the piece in the oven for 15 minutes.

7. Prepare a base for the piece using the same components and time in the oven.

8. Put the piece and the base together using some more material in the sides.

9. Take the final piece, stick a needle in the middle of it and put air in to try the Soft Robotics.

10. It didn´t work out as expected because the base didn´t have the same thickness in all of it so the air make bubbles in the thinest parts.
