HingePliers (a metamaterials experiment) by profhankd

Last crawled date: 3 years ago
There is some very interesting research at the Hasso Plattner Institute 3D-printing metamaterials. Normally, complex mechanical properties arise from assembling components made of various materials; in contrast, a metamaterial object obtains its properties within a single part using a single material without assembly. Their work centers on using a deformable cell pattern, which they said would work with ABS and PLA, but all their demos are made with NinjaFlex... which deforms easily, but lacks the rigidity needed for many kinds of devices.
To test the feasibility of combining rigidity and deformability, I created a simple design for metamaterial longnose pliers. The black pliers printed in ABS copy the metamaterial cell design they used, but the ABS proved too rigid; the nose barely moved before the ABS began to crack. For my second attempt, I reinforced the stress points, thinned the walls of the deformable cell structure, and printed using blue T-Glase. This more flexible material works better, but still the nose only closes about half way before the pivot points start to crush and tear. As one last test, I tried printing one out of NinjaFlex... and the thin nose simply flops around; the material is never truly rigid (here's a video of PLA HingePliers picking-up the NinjaFlex cell-based metamaterial version). Update: As of February 7, 2017, HassoPlattnerInstitute_HCI has posted their design on Thingiverse.
One potential fix is to use different materials for the deformable and rigid parts; that approach was used in Thing 1388783. However, that requires assembly or dual extrusion... and the resulting tool clearly isn't a metamaterial.
Our trick is to use a single, fairly stiff, material and to design the deformable and rigid regions so that operation does not develop damaging stress between them. The result is my HingePliers design, published here. This mechanism is not merely "printed assembled" without supports -- it is literally one piece of material and doesn't even have any structural spans! (Technically, the University of Kentucky logo embossed in the bottom side has tiny spans in it, but that shouldn't really count.) The central hinge uses 45-degree angles to avoid spans and the spring, which deforms harmlessly into free space (rather than against a rigid part), connects the two handles so that the entire device is literally one object made of a homogeneous material: blue PLA. On that basis, I would argue that my HingePliers thing is actually a metamaterial object, extracting very different behaviors from the same material by controlling structure. The pliers operate very smoothly, with good tension to restore them to their open position, yet can exert a reasonable amount of force through the rigid nose.
