Austin Suh has designed this innovative car door linkage. He built a prototype that demonstrates this movement next to his Honda Civic for comparison. The 3D printed PLA linkage sits in one corner and lifts the door up and over the car. It is driven by a DC gear motor through a crank-rocker, which provides […]
Austin Suh has designed a variety of spherical linkages that provide a unique movement to open a jewelry box. Here are some examples, one of which has a linear actuator to open the box at the touch of a switch.
