Abstract
In this paper the authors approach the dimensional synthesis of parallel manipulators focusing on the evaluation of important entities belonging to the configuration space, such as workspace and joint space. In particular, 3-DoF manipulators that can perform non-singular transitions are considered, illustrating the procedure with a case study. The target is to search for designs that achieve the goals of adequate size and shape of the workspace.
