We have created a fully-working prototype. We hope to soon have an improved, tested version available for sale. This will be used to make other tools, including The Liberator CEB Press and the LifeTrac open-source tractor.

The latest work is sitting here.

Our development log is here.

Contributors

From Appropedia:

  • Arnar Mar Sigurðsson - hardware design, electronics
  • Smári McCarthy - controller software, GTP language
  • Mel Chua - firmware
  • Marcin Jakubowski - hardware design, open enterprise model, fabrication of turnkey XYZ Tables

Others:

  • CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO Yahoo group
  • DIY CNC Yahoo group
  • Xylotex Yahoo group

Development begins with collecting the development team. The goal is to spawn this team to a coherent development process, which follows the general due diligence suggested by the Torch Table Development Template. This template should serve as a repository of more-or-less finished work, where other pages should be created as work pages, and placed into the Category for the Torch Table.

New people joining the project should first view the status of the project at the Torch Table Log

The development process is peer reviewed. For this to happen, existing designs should be submitted to forums, such as Open Manufacturing, DIY CNC, CNC Zone, MechMate forum, Multimachine, Jobshophomeshop, CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO, and others.
