The new PKM is designed as a machine tool in various applications in manufacturing. The PKM is optimized based on the developed stiffness model. Kinematics and dynamics of the new PKM is also modeled and simulated.enParallel kinematic machinesmicroelectro mechanical systemsmotion control devicesDesign and analysis of the three degrees of freedom parallel kinematic machineThesis
