Printing 3D dielectric elastomer actuators for soft robotics (2009)
Journal Article
Stoimenovc, B., Rossiter, J., & Walters, P. (2009). Printing 3D dielectric elastomer actuators for soft robotics. Proceedings of SPIE, 7287, https://doi.org/10.1117/12.815746

We present a new approach to the fabrication of soft dielectric elastomer actuators using a 3D printing process. Complete actuators including active membranes and support structures can be 3D printed in one go, resulting in a great improvement in fab...
