Virtual pivot (animated version)

3D Model

This is an animated version of the virtual pivot presented in this other sketchfab model.

The animation was performed in Blender using shape keys, taking FEA simulations as shapes (deformed structures, meshes with identical number of faces and vertices).

To see how this type of mechanism can be used in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), you can check this video.
