Flat Soft Actuators #3DPrinting #3DThursday

XYZAidan shared this print on Thingiverse

This Customizer script allows you to input a black and white .png image and receive the mold and stencil to create a soft pneumatic silicone actuator that will inflate to the shape of the image.

Instructables guide on how to build it: http://www.instructables.com/id/Flat-Soft-Actuators-From-Images

Based on the work found here: http://www.kevincgalloway.com/portfolio/zero-volume-air-chambers/

UPDATE: Thingiverse user Neon22 suggested some revisions and made some changes to my code that make it easier to work with offline. Here is the link: https://gist.github.com/Neon22/9ec0b7e6518b1c3fb93bbd68f6eafa99

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!

Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!


Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat and our Discord!

Join us every Wednesday night at 8pm ET for Ask an Engineer!
