Linkage is a computer aided design program used for quick prototyping of linkage mechanisms. The number of operations needed to add a link and get it connected to other links in the mechanism has been minimized to the lowest number possible, making this program ideal for “throwing together” a working machine. The mechanism is edited and animated in the same window allowing for quick analysis and modification while working on a design.

Awesome application! I build kinetic sculptures and this application has become an essential tool to quickly explore/create/ test dozens of linkage and coupler curve designs. I can have a design in my head or on paper, then create it in Linkage, and discover immediately, the design is not going to work (More often than not). I make the necessary adjustments or discover a new approach and can have a new design with dimensions on a dxf file ready for CAD in a matter of minutes. I usually tinker around a bit longer though. Great work! Thank you!

Thank you so much for this!
Linkage has served me a lot in developing prototypes and final products since its first version years ago.
