summary

Replaces fragile press‑fits with cantilever springs cut into SVG plans so joints and mounts tolerate kerf and material stiffness variation; software runs server‑side, takes SVG in/out, classifies joints, generates optimized spring geometry with nonlinear optimization, and exposes a browser UI to set thickness and place mounts. Technical evaluation fabricates 14 models from Thingiverse: 8 fully automatic, 2 too small for springs, 1 radial joint misclassified; force tests on plywood and acrylic meet specs.
