Final project idea

The idea of this final project, is to make a new hybrid machine. Like new machines, I want to integrate an exchangeable head (Extruder, router, laser , ... ), the idea is to have all the machines of the fablab in one. The other idea of this machine, is to permit to construct machine that allow you tu build machine bigger than the initial machine.

I give up this idea, because I saw all the difficulties, that I will have to do that, so I wanted to be something less ambitious, to be sure that I will finish.

Inspirations

Modular machines

Build modular machines, inspired by software paradigme, the idea is to make component exchangeable.

Hybrid machines

3d printers with conveyor belt

CNC conveyor belt

CNC laser cutting machine with conveyor belt, it's a professionnal machine, maybe not adapted to the context of fab labs.

Coveyor belt

First simple prototype

Principale features beta

The conveyor belt will be autonom from the XY axis (step 1)
- Using RF32 to synchronize them?
- Using CPL technologie
The XY axis can be placed by two way on the conveyor belt (step 2)
- Fixed on the conveyor belt (👁 Mode 3d printer)
- Moving on the conveyor belt (👁 Mode CNC)
The head of XY axis can be exchangeable (step 3)
- Mode CNC
- Mode milli CNC
- Mode 3D printer
- Mode Laser cut
