Fabrication and experimental testing of the mechanical logic gates. a A macroscale NAND gate printed by a commercial Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3D-printer Stratasys F370 using material ABS-M30â„¢. b Experimental and FEA results of the total force on the two rigid bodies A and B as the inputs a, b transition from (0, 0) to (1, 1). c A mesoscale NAND gate printed using projection microstereolithography. d Fabrication process of a bi-stable flexure mechanism that combines two-photon stereolithography (2PS) with holographic optical tweezers (HOT). e A bi-stable flexure mechanism fabricated at micro-scale that can be driven between two stable positions
