Description
The 3Flex (Fused Filament Fabrication Flexible Instrument) is a parametric, 2DOF, tendon-driven manipulator design, that is 3D printable on most1 home FFF printers.
The idea was born as an idea for a steerable catheter design during Fabian Trauzettel's PhD project in the BITE group at TU Delft.
This work was supported by the ATLAS project. This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No 813782.

1A 0.25mm Nozzle is recommended. Printing with a 0.4mm nozzle is possible, but requires some modification of the CAD model.
