  1. By the 4th of July, we will build 6 machines from the GVCS
  2. 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
  3. How is this possible? Through Module-based design - similar to a lifesize Erector Set.
  4. The first step is to create 3D design from our conceptual drawings.
  5. This will be a group effort, online, working on Sketchup, Google Hangouts, and documenting the build in oManual
  6. 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 the parts out of plastic, not the entire machine, just we would build a machine from individual parts.
