Revision as of 05:53, 15 April 2011

Lathe, Mill, Drill capacity
Surface grinder attachment
Indexing head attachment - for gears
Rotary table attachment for tapers
Manual in first implementation, CNC in later versions
Manual down pressure ram, for inner keyways
Radial arm
Vertical and horizontal operation
Open source dovetail design
3 axis, heavy duty table, 4 feet long
Weight - 2000 lb
Open Source Stepper Motor Controllers in later versions
0.0001 accuracy
Precision acme drive for low cost
Open Source Digital Readout (DRO), retrofitted to microcontroller-compensation of backlash in CNC version
Detachable hydraulic motor drive; will be able to make hydraulic motors
Highly self-replicating. All precision parts for the Multimachine, including hydraulic motors and precision drive, should be machinable on the Multimachine itself. Scrap steel should be melted and processed with rolling to produce the necessary steel.

Note: Design Rationale includes concept, general specifications, calculations, and fit in other product ecologies
