Air slits along the part slightly changed in locations and enlarged in width. Number of slits slightly reduced. The main source of reference – https://cargocollective.com/bohanh/Soft-robot-Design-and-Fabrication Deliverables: mold B was never printed – the learning process of parametric design resulted in

Volume of silicone for detail mold: Volume of silicone for ceiling mold: 1935.48mm

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ijHIED8CNJ9FfdkBbqrIzI4GYghBzDBK?usp=sharing Deliverables: Mold A had a few design errors: The size of the inlet tube to the part was too small. The number of cavities along the part was too large. Additionally, the bonding of the top and bottom of the silicone part was not successful in one of the edges. I was able to

Another significant change was the change in the silicone material. Instead of using the 00-31, this iteration utilized the 00-45 silicone. The demolding process was a lot more seamless with this part, probably due to a

*I have been having printing issues with my molds – so I am working with Cody and Sunjana to get it fixed. Right now, I do not have any silicone makings because of the issue, but am hoping to get them printed by Mar 4th through Sunjana’s account and re-printing through mine again.* For this

This property was amplified by the thickness of my design. Although the part did not inflate fully, it did provide valuable experience in the design and fabrication of soft robot parts.
