Abstract
This repository contains the CAD files required to reproduce the custom components described in the HardwareX article "Low-Cost Fabrication of Twisted and Coiled Artificial Muscles with a Simple Soft Robot Demonstrator for Education and Research."
The files include:
*Twist-blocking crossbar used during TCAM fabrication
*Muscle Attachment rings used for integration into the soft robotic demonstrator
All other components described in the article are commercially available and specified in the bill of materials. The provided files enable fabrication using common desktop 3D printers and are intended for educational and research use.
