SCANS

SCANS Finger

The SCANS Finger is the component with the most sub-components, and thus a page is dedicated to the fabrication of each one. The major components needed to assemble the SCANS Finger are:

  • Cast silicone air bladder connected to the 3D printed clamp
  • PCB with components soldered
  • Spectral Fibers with cast silicone cladding and prisms glued
  • Finger exoskeleton with embedded fibers

While most steps can be repeated, it is recommended that a single SCANS finger is completed before the two others, to ensure that all the steps are performed correctly and the finger functions as expected
