This study explores the development of customized biomedical grippers utilizing selective laser melting (SLM)-based additive manufacturing technology with 316L stainless steel powders. The prototypes of the manufactured two customized stainless-steel grippers function with a 1 mm diameter polyethylene fiber-based actuator that works antagonistically with integrated springs. The use of SLM-based additive manufacturing technology enabled having an innovative mechanical solution with amplified gripping mechanisms. Furthermore, a telescopic handle design for the grippers enhanced the functionality of the overall system to use in surgical applications.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccess316L Stainless SteelAdditive ManufacturingBiomedical GripperSelective Laser MeltingBook Chapter89Q481Part F641
