Jag postar det här på forumet för att det finns ett starkt CNC-gäng här, och för att den aktiva läsarskaran kan föra det här vidare till intresserade. Marcin Jakobowski utanför Kansas City leder projektet, och här följer hans email. Han vill gärna ha kontakt med andra som jobbar på liknande projekt, så svara honom gärna.
Friends,
I would like to call out further for participation in RepLab - The Open Source Fab Lab: See blog post
We are gathering interest from people interested in working on the open source fab lab components. Because many different hackerspaces have an interest in tools of production - we're hoping to leverage this interest to develop the open source fab lab.
The list of tools needed is below. Please get back to us specifically on what you can contribute. In particular:
- Tell us the tool of interest to you;
- What specific technical developments you are willling to contribute to the project - such as design, calculations, research, fabrication, testing, documentation, web development, marketing, resource development, parts sourcing assistance, etc.
- Resources and infrastructure that you have available, and what groups you are involved with or that you can leverage for assistance
- Suggestions on strategies and enterprise models that can be utilized in development
- Suggestions on tools missing, and how you're willing to contribute to developing them
- How much energy you can commit - do you 'have a job' or can you commit significant time?
- Laser cutter - large DIY community exists for C02 lasers
- ShopBot - RepTab is the Factor e Farm version
- Precise router for milling circuits
- Plasma cutter - power circuit is main point to opensource
- Welder - power circuit is main point to opensource
- Oscilloscope - can a computer oscilloscope cover most needs?
- RepRap - fabrication streamlining and open business model needed
- Mill
- Drill
- Lathe
- Induction furnace - power electronics are main point to opensource
- Ciruit fab - automated process including pick-and-place
- Aluminum extrusion
- Metal casting - of ingot from induction furnace, and other molds
- Hot rolling
- Cold rolling
- Forging
- Metal shear and hole punch for up to 1" steel
- Wire drawing
Comments and refinements of problem statement are welcome.
Thanks,
Marcin
