Comprehensive performance of a low-cost spring-assisted mechanism for digital light processing

Abstract

Highlights1. Comprehensively evaluated the performance of a low-cost spring-assisted mechanism for the separation process.2. The Taguchi method was used to obtain the parameters that minimize the separation force and time.3. The spring-assisted mechanism demonstrated better manufacturing stability than the pulling-up or tilting mechanism. 4. A linear regression equation was established to predict the separation force of specific geometric shapes and areas to greatly reduce the calculation costs and time.
