To be successful, hand exoskeletons require customisable low encumbrance design with multi-compliant materials. This paper details the modification and testing of a fused filament fabrication printer to produce three categories of multi-compliant material that can be incorporated into the design of hand exoskeletons. Demonstration of the multi-compliant material for some common problems in hand exoskeleton design are presented. This method of manufacturing multi-compliant materials could result in widespread use of exoskeleton design in both the rehabilitation and assistive fields.
要取得成功，手部外骨骼需要采用可定制的低负担设计，并使用多种柔顺材料。本文详细介绍了对一台熔融沉积成型打印机的改装和测试，以生产可融入手部外骨骼设计的三类多种柔顺材料。文中展示了这些多种柔顺材料在手部外骨骼设计中一些常见问题上的应用。这种制造多种柔顺材料的方法可能会导致外骨骼设计在康复和辅助领域得到广泛应用。
