Open Source Dough Sheeter

Basics

• This Page Aims to Go Over Existing Open Source Designs for Dough Sheeters, and Propose Iterations (If Need Be)
• A Dough Sheeter is a device that takes in dough and forms precise, flat, consistent sheets with it
• While note 100% necessary (one could in theory just use a Rolling Pin ), they decrease required labor, and increase consistency/precision

  • Automatic Dough Filling & Forming Machine
    • An Example by ANKO
