Kinematic Synthesis of Mechanism In this page are collected software codes for the kinematic synthesis of linkages. I believe these can be of interest for teachers, students and mechanism designers. I hope you find it interesting and useful. This software cannot be used for commercial applications without the written consent from the author.
