The file 'Binary Torsion Stiffness Compliant Mechanism 3D Printer Model' is (STL) file type, size is 1.1MB.
This is a binary torsion stiffness compliant mechanism. It can change between high and low stiffness configurations reversibly by toggling a bistable mechanism. It all has been integrated in a monolithic architecture such that it can be easily 3D printed.
This device has been published as a research paper in the journal extreme mechanics letters with the title:
"Monolithic binary stiffness building blocks for mechanical digital machines"
