Implementation of a Flexure Based Feed Unit for the Square Foot Manufacturing Concept

摘要

Scientists of the Helmut-Schmidt-University / University of Federal Armed Forces Hamburg are currently working on the implementation of the Square Foot Manufacturing concept. This concept, an enhancement of existing desktop manufacturing concepts, is characterised by its modularity and mutability. The theoretic background and important assumptions are presented in [1]. This paper reveals the first prototypes of Square Foot Manufacturing components and furthermore results of their practical application will be shown.
