N2 - Solid Freeform Fabrication (SFF) techniques permit the ready manufacture of ceramic actuators possessing unusual and complex shapes. These actuator designs allow for the optimization of material orientation, poling direction and applied potential direction, which can result in increased displacement. Examples of such designs are detailed in this paper and include a dome shaped actuator possessing tangentially alternating poling and a spiral shaped actuator.
