3D-Printed Linear Positioner with Micrometer Accuracy

3D-Printed Linear Positioner with Micrometer Accuracy

This article presents a positioner, whose flexure main body is made by a commercial 3D printer. Using this method, manufacturing a positioner can be cost efficient and much easier to customize. Integrating a laser displacement sensor, an electromagnetic actuator, and a feedback controller, this posi...
