% Measurement Results
% The specified flexible beam thickness (gap) is $250\,\mu m$.
% Four gaps are measured for each flexible joints (2 in the $x$ direction and 2 in the $y$ direction).
% The "beam thickness" is then estimated to be the mean between the gaps measured on opposite sides.
% An histogram of the measured beam thicknesses is shown in Figure ref:fig:test_joints_size_hist.
% The measured thickness is less thant the specified value of $250\,\mu m$, but this optical method may not be very accurate as the estimated gap can depend on the lighting of the part and of its proper alignment.
% However, what is more important than the true value of the thickness is the consistency between all the flexible joints.
