Abstract
The disclosed computer-implemented method may include creating a computer-generated model for a haptic feedback system including a plurality of actuators arranged in a first layer of the haptic feedback system, and a plurality of channels routed in a second layer of the haptic feedback system, the second layer being below the first layer, printing a three-dimensional wax mold structure of the computer-generated model, and forming the haptic feedback system in a single step using the three-dimensional wax mold structure. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
Claims17
A method comprising:
- creating a computer-generated model for a haptic feedback system comprising:
- a plurality of actuators arranged in a first layer of the haptic feedback system;
- and
- a plurality of channels routed in a second layer of the haptic feedback system, the second layer being below the first layer;
- printing a three-dimensional wax mold structure of the computer-generated model;
- and
- forming the haptic feedback system in a single step using the three-dimensional wax mold structure.
A method comprising:
- creating a computer-generated model for a wax mold comprising a plurality of channels and actuators;
- printing a three-dimensional representation of the wax mold in wax, the wax mold comprising support wax;
- removing the support wax from the wax mold;
- and
- forming a haptic feedback system comprising performing a single-shot molding process between two polycarbonate plates using the wax mold.
