Flexure mechanism synthesis, however, is still a comparably difficult task. This paper aims at exploring a simple but systematic type synthesis methodology for general flexure mechanisms. The applied mathematical tool is reciprocal screw system theory in geometric form, and the proposed approach is an improvement of freedom and constraint topology (FACT), which is based on the FACT approach, combining with other methods including equivalent compliance mapping, set operation on building blocks, etc. As a result, it enables the type synthesis of flexure mechanisms simple, complete, and effective. What is more significant is that the proposed approach makes the unified type synthesis of both constraint-based and kinematics-based flexure mechanisms available. That is also the new contribution to the flexure de-sign.
