This is an OpenSCAD script providing several modules for generating linear motion flexures(also sometimes referred to as translational compliant mechanism).
These are parts that are designed to flex in such a way that permits motion only along one axis, while being relatively stiff to off-axis movement.
They are often used for applications such as precise optical positioning, and when constructed of stable materials(not printed plastic) can be made to operate with nanoscale precision.
They can be used for small scale linear motion. Some advantages of flexures over typical slides are:
- zero backlash
- zero wear
- zero friction/stiction
- can be easily fabricated from single block of material using subtractive mfg. (waterjet, laser cutter, cnc mill, router, EDM, etc)
- linear motion using only 1 part
The patterns in this script were mainly inspired by images and videos found online showing various linear flexures, typically composed from metall or even galss. I trie
