This thesis shows a systematic analysis of the design and control of 3D shape rendering interfaces (SRI). After defining design guidelines for SRIs, a prototype, in form of a parallel kinematic design with 24 degrees of freedom (DoF) is developed and analyzed in terms of formability, stiffness and dynamic properties. Further, a kinematic description for such SRIs characterized by a high amount of DoF is presented. Finally, as SRIs come along with a large number of actuators, measures to reduce the amount of actuators are analyzed.
