=Key Performance Specifications=
 
*X Axis Travel Range = 20cm
 
*Y Axis Travel Range = 20cm
 
*Z Axis Travel Range = 5cm
 
*Step Motor Torque at 12VDC = 3.2kg-cm
 
*Spindle Max Rotation Speed = 22600rpm no-load
 
*Spindle Motor Torque at 24VDC = 88.5g-cm at max efficiency
 
*Workpiece Holding Mechanism = Linear Bolt and Tensioning Nut
 
*For Prototype II, define goals based on study of industry standards. Include desired precision + accuracy + speed.
**Minimum step size for each axis plus variance
**Repeatability of motion (drift) (determined by going to certain locations a large number of times)
**Minimum spacing between traces (determined by minimum allowable size of bit + precision)
**Minimum trace size possible
**Goal: repeatability is as good as step size - ie, all inaccuracy is negligible compared to step size, and zero backlash at all practical milling speeds.
**Define practical milling speed range based on substrate

=Design Modifications=
 
=Modularity=
 
*Different step motors and drive mechanisms can be mounted onto the axis support angles via mounting holes
 
*Different frames can be used, provided they have precise mounting holes for the axis support angles
 
*Different holding platforms can be used, provided they have mounting holes for the X axis moving angles
 
*Different spindle setups can be used, provided they have mounting holes for the Z axis moving angles
 
*Different stepper driver boards and power supplies can be used, provided they have compatible performance specifications within the electronics system
 
=Scaling=
 
*Scaling mainly consists of changing the size of the frame (to affect travel ranges) and the type of step motors (to affect travel rates)
 
*Other discrete components such as fasteners, leadscrews, and shafts need only be scaled if necessary for functionality or certain desired performance specifications
 
*The travel range calculation for the X axis:
 
(X Travel Range) = (Distance Between 2 Parallel Frame Angles Along Horizontal Plane) - (Length of Platform Along Axis)
 
*The travel range calculation for the Y axis:
 
(Y Travel Range) = (Distance Between 2 Parallel Frame Angles Along Vertical Plane) - (Length of Z Support Angles Along Axis)
