Archiv:RepRap: Unterschied zwischen den Versionen

This project is about building a '''3D printer for rapid prototyping'''. In contrast to a milling machine the process is additive i.e. the workpiece is built-up layer by layer, usually from thermoplastic material. Different commercial devices exists - needless to say, they are pricey. The goal of a RepRap machine is the ability to print almost all parts it consists of, hence ''a self-'''rep'''licating '''rap'''id prototyper''.  

After seing [[RepRap Workshop|Vik's presentation]] about [http://reprapdoc.voodoo.co.nz/bin/view/Main/HowToBuildOne how to build a RepRap] we've started our own implementation of a [http://www.reprap.org RepRap].

Then [http://brepettis.com Bre Pettis] came by in November 2007 and decided to build a [http://reprap.org/bin/view/Main/McWire_Cartesian_Bot_1_2 McWire]-based RepRap for [http://www.roboexotica.org Roboexotica 2007]. In a week. Unfortunately the motor drivers have been blown during exhibition but the revived machine has been sucessfully presented at [http://hackaday.com/2008/12/05/roboexotica-2008/ Robexotica 2008], it even won an [http://flickr.com/photos/ctp/3095372499/ award].
