Script
- By the 4th of July, we will build 6 machines from the GVCS
- The designs will be the open source microtractor, bulldozer, truck, car, backhoe, ironworker machine, and new 50 hp power cube - primarily cut with the CNC Torch Table
- How is this possible? Through Module-based design - similar to a lifesize Erector Set.
- The first step is to create 3D design from our conceptual drawings.
- This will be a group effort, online, working on Sketchup, Google Hangouts, and documenting the build in oManual
- Then we ened to rapid prototype them by taking the Sketchup drawing - converting those 3D models into a file compatible with a 3D printer. We print a scale model of the parts out of plastic, not the entire machine, just we would build a machine from individual parts.
- We can test the reliability of the 3D design by the rapid prototype in 3D.
- So now have validated that the 3D design is correct - otherwise return to the drawing board.
- Next we move to the laser cutter to simulate as a scale the cutting that will be necessary with sheet
