, with CNC Torch Table 
design by 
building upon the work of 
RepRap open source community with adherence to 
. Using RAMPS 
and 425 oz in motors from Xylotex
. By combining Cool DRV 
with RAMPS we are calling it CoolRAMPS.
Overview
We are building on open source electronics from the RepRap project to build the OSE CNC Torch Table, until we develop our own higher power controllers within the framework of the Power Electronics Construction Set.
Technical
Credits to Kliment for developing Cool DRV (care of #Bubblerep which we are using with RepRap Generation 4 RAMPS electronics to run steppers with microstepping. We are using Xylotex 425 oz in Stepper Motors, which are rated for 2.8A max. We will run the system at partial power until we develop the Scalable Open Source Stepper Motor Controller, possibly by making improvements upon the Powerlolu GPLv2 electronics.
Status
Needs a Systems Engineering Breakdown and Interface Diagram for entire table. This includes:

BOM Referencing Part Numbers in Systems Breakdown and Interface Diagram
Visual BOM
Using pictures of actual components - we draw up this Google Drawing:
Pictorial Interface Design
Show pictures of all connectors or other interfaces.
Pictorial Design - Software Toolchain Development
Sourcing
- Thermal Dynamics Cutmaster 52
- RAMPS - from Lulzbot
- Cool DRV
Integration
- See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lff2mYbA6_0 for a commercial system for $15k.
- Control code - former tool chain was DXF to Gcode with LinuxCNC, but we are moving beyond parallel port.
