CNC fablab transportable diy self replicable opendot

This project was created on 06/22/2017 and last updated 7 years ago.

Description

Right now almost all the CNC machines are bigger than the material they cut. I'd like to make something that does the opposite: a machine smaller than the material that it cuts.
This means that to save space inside a lab: the CNC could be stored in a corner, behind the plywood panels, and put to work only when needed.
A second objective would be to make the machine with simple, cheap consumables and parts that can be fabricated with fablabs machines, possibly with the CNC process to make it self replicable.

    how to make SMILL is described here:

    http://fabacademy.org/archives/2015/eu/students/bassi.enrico/project03.html

    at the moment the mechanical solutions are too unstable and the rigidity of the project should be increased, by both changing the materials and the design.
