    Abstract: An articulating member adapted to articulate about multiple axes and method for making same is disclosed. The articulating member may comprise an articulating section that allows for the articulating member to articulate laterally, vertically, or both so that the articulating member may be articulated to fit along the contour of a substrate and be adhered or affixed thereto. The articulating section may be arranged in a corrugated pattern with alternating ridges and furrows. The geometry of the articulating section is such that the stress concentrations along the various surfaces of the articulating member may be reduced when the member is articulated laterally, vertically, or both. The method comprises the steps of providing a die being shaped with geometry that will produce an articulating member, and machining a sheet of material to produce an articulating member.
