The EU-funded BiCeps project aims to engineer and fabricate robust actuators that can mimic the strength, precision, speed, compliance, and reliability of natural muscle movement. Using advanced 3D printing techniques, BiCeps produces strong materials that contract when triggered, much like real muscles, to build powerful actuators.
Produce robust, enduring, and reliable actuators suitable for various technical applications
Combination of strong materials by multi material printing to create actuators
Complex mechanical actuators that contract like natural muscle when triggered
This technology could replace traditional motors and engines in many industries, offering greater flexibility and efficiency
Overcome the limitations associated with current motors, particularly complexity in fabrication and recycling.
Our expertise in multi-material additive manufacturing will play a crucial role in ensuring precision and performance of muscle-inspired actuators.
