This work presents the automatic design of additively manufacturable serially linked one degree of freedom manipulators whose end effectors move along individually prescribed 2D trajectories. The kinematic coupling of the links is done by using gear stages consisting of spur gears and toothed belt gears. The basic design parameters of these mechanisms are determined using a Fourier series. The cal...
