Compliant mechanism collection

Model No. 6

This is a dual-use compliant mechanism. It can be used as a crimping mechanism when the handles on the right are pressed to bring them together and cause the gap to narrow on the left side. Instead, if the shorter vertical segment is pushed to the left towards the longer vertical segment, it can be used as a gripper.
