Manufacturing of 3D Printed Soft Grippers: A Review

Soft robotics technology has been rapidly expanding in recent years due to its advantages in flexibility and safety for human operators. Within this trend, soft grippers enable more delicate and adaptable manipulations, minimizing damage to the final object or the environment. 3D printing has recent...

Within this trend, soft grippers enable more delicate and adaptable manipulations, minimizing damage to the final object or the environment. 3D printing has recently emerged as a new manufacturing method for robotics, offering novel materials and design possibilities. The use of soft materials, such as thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) or silicone based elastomers, in 3D printing has enabled soft grippers to demonstrate their potential, leading to new applications in the medical, industrial or even the agricultural field, as well as improved performance.
