Existing mechan isms are insufficient to address this problem. Planar linkages and their c ombinations with gears and/or plate cams can only generate 2D paths while 1-DOF spatial linkages can only generate 3D paths with rather simple shape s. In this paper, we present a new 3D cam-linkage mechanism, consisting of two 3D cams and five links, for exactly generating a continuous 3D path. To design a 3D cam-linkage mechanism, we first model a 3-DOF 5-bar spatial linkage to exactly generate a prescribed 3D path and then reduce the spat ial linkage’s DOFs from 3 to 1 by composing the linkage with two 3D cam-fo llower mechanisms. Our computational approach optimizes the 3D cam-linkage mechanism’s topology and geometry to minimize the mechanism’s total weigh t while ensuring smooth, collision-free, and singularity-free motion. We s how that our 3D cam-linkage mechanism is able to exactly generate a contin uous 3D path with arbitrary shape and a finite number of C0 points, evalua te the mechanism’s kinematic performance with 3D printed prototypes, and d emonstrate that the mechanism can be generalized for exact 3D motion gener ation.\n\nRegistration Category: FULL ACCESS, EXPERIENCE PLUS ACCESS, EXPE RIENCE ACCESS, TRADE EXHIBITOR\n\nLanguage: ENGLISH\n\nFormat: IN-PERSON URL:https://sa2022.siggraph.org/en/full-program/?id=papers_127&sess=sess15 3 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
