Flexure bearings provide precise, low-maintenance operation but have a limited range of motion compared to conventional bearings. Here, we introduce a new class of bearing-the metamorphic flexure bearing-that not only retains the advantages...

As additive manufacturing (AM) matures, models are beginning to take a more prominent stage in design and process planning for AM. A limitation frequently encountered in AM models is a lack of indication about their precision and accuracy. ...

A circular shape placed on an incline will roll; similarly, an irregularly shaped object, such as the Archimedean spiral, will roll on a flat surface when a force is applied to its axle. This rolling is dependent on the specific shape and t...
