PLANAR MECHANISM DESIGN, IN THE BROWSER

From motion goals,
to mechanism designs.

An open-source, browser-based platform for planar mechanism design and automated synthesis. Analyze standard mechanisms quickly, or build your own from joints and links.

01FOUR-BAR DESIGN

Four-bar Mechanism Design

Analyze crank-rocker, double-crank, and double-rocker mechanisms, draw a target path, and fit four-bar dimensions automatically.

02SIX-BAR SYNTHESIS

Six-bar Leg Synthesis

Draw foot-end trajectories for walking and running, then generate six-bar designs balancing accuracy and transmission quality.

03VARIABLE GEOMETRY LEG

Variable-geometry Walking Leg

Adapt one Klann or Jansen mechanism to cruise, high-speed, and obstacle trajectories using a movable ground pivot or lockable telescopic link.

04STRAIGHT-LINE MECHANISMS

Classic Straight-line Mechanisms

Compare Watt, Chebyshev, Hoekens, and Peaucellier mechanisms, automatically identifying the best straight segment and its error.
