A Soft Variable Stiffness Actuator with a Chain Mail Structure as a Particle Jamming Interface by John E. Bermeo, Eduardo Castillo-Castañeda, Med Amine Laribi

“…The proposed VSA consists of three main parts: the vacuum chamber, the VSA actuator, and the chain mail structure. The VSA fabrication process was carried out in five stages: (1) mold fabrication by 3D FDM printing, incorporating a film of oil to facilitate easy demolding; (2) mold preparation using silicone, with a precise ratio of 1:1 weight-based mixture to optimize material utilization; (3) silicone pouring into molds while applying vibration to eliminate air bubbles; (4) curing for four hours to achieve optimal mechanical properties; and (5) careful demolding to prevent damage. …”
