Abstract/Summary

This paper presents a methodology of utilizing rapid prototyping to fabricate a non-assembly joints to improve the assembly complexity of the Jointed Articulating Laparoscopic Tool (JALT), and may make reasonably priced disposable tip division feasible. Researcher used a Ultimaker 3 Extended 3D Printer, which is an equipment of the Animo Labs, to fabricate the rigid components of the experimental model. This research could serve as the benchmark for future students’ and faculty research on the use of 3D printing and improving assembly complexity with it.
