Feasible mechanisms are mechanical devices designed to transform displacements, strengths or energy through flexibility of its structural elements. Its advantages versus rigid links mechanisms with pinnate joints becoming a viable alternative for the BioMES design since they are systems requiring high movement accuracy at very reduced scale level. The feasible mechanisms design may be carried out using structural optimization techniques where that of topology type is the more used. In prior researches we developed a new topology optimization method inspired in the bone regeneration process known as the Method of hybrid cellular automaton, which showed its applicability and computer effectiveness in the topology synthesis of these devices. The aim of present paper is to spread the method to feasible mechanisms synthesis for biomedical publications, specifically, for the design of a microclamp for the fibroblasts management. Optimal topology achieved is in correspondence with the designs mentioned in other researches. Results allow to carry out the manufacture of this device because of they haven't de facto joints or patterns in chessboard, which are typical errors to solve the topology optimization by means of other solutions methods.

Palabras clave : BioMEMs; feasible mechanisms; topology optimization; hybrid cellular automaton.
