Low Clearance Hinge Joint Mechanism Based on 3D Printing on Sheet Fabrication Methodology

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 14, 2026 · UTC

This paper presents a low-clearance hinge joint mechanism based on the 3D printing on sheet fabrication method. This approach simplifies the fabrication of hinge mechanisms and overcomes limitations of conventional origami manufacturing by eliminating the need for adhesives commonly used during assembly, making it suitable for robots at the tens-of-centimeters scale. The advantages and disadvantages of three types of hinge joint mechanisms are compared, and a hinge joint that can be designed with low clearance for various facet thicknesses is selected. Based on the selected hinge joint, the tw
