A method of manufacturing and assembling a sandwich flexure mechanism assembly is set forth herein. The method involves manufacture of a monolithic sandwich flexure module having a multitude of out of plane rigid inter-stage connections between at least some sets of twin stages of the monolithic sandwich flexure module. The method further involves assembling an interconnect subassembly to intermediate bodies of the monolithic sandwich flexure module. The interconnect subassembly furnishing in-plane rigid inter-stage connections between pairs of the intermediate bodies that constitute sister stages of the monolithic sandwich flexure module. The method can further involve assembling a motion body, actuators, and displacement sensors at the monolithic sandwich flexure module.
