Automated extraction of 3D printed parts from unfused PA12 powder using a one-shot 3D printed compliant gripper (2021)
Journal Article
Cormack, J., Fotouhi, M., Adams, G., & Pipe, T. (2021). Automated extraction of 3D printed parts from unfused PA12 powder using a one-shot 3D printed compliant gripper. IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, 6(4), 8655-8662. https://doi.org/10.1109/lra.2021.3113383

Automated individual part extraction from powder based 3D printers has the potential to save time and cost compared with fully manual part extraction, or part sorting following automated bulk separation of parts and unfused powder. This work details... Read More about Automated extraction of 3D printed parts from unfused PA12 powder using a one-shot 3D printed compliant gripper.

One-shot 3D printed underactuated gripper (2020)
Conference Proceeding
Cormack, J., Fotouhi, M., Adams, G., & Pipe, A. (2020). One-shot 3D printed underactuated gripper. In A. Mohammad, X. Dong, & M. Russo (Eds.), Towards Autonomous Robotic Systems (400-404). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-63486-5_41

Underactuated gripping mechanisms allow a wide range of objects to be grasped, with relatively simple control and input. Current 3D printed underactuated grippers are often composed of multiple parts that need assembly before use. Consolidating many... Read More about One-shot 3D printed underactuated gripper.
