Conclusions

The first version of USyCaMs has been completed according to the guidelines and objectives outlined in [GoA93]. This version, called USyCaMs 1.0, was coded in C and supported by the graphics library GL.

Thanks to the graphical potential of USyCaMs, it has been possible to design mechanisms never conceptualized before. In this way, we have been able to develop innovative transmission systems; such is the case of PRICAM (Pure Rolling Indexing Cam Mechanism), whose prototypes were fully designed on the monitor, and then, built in two versions, planar and spherical.
