Open Source Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) Software

The goal of the project is the realization of a modular firmware that allows to control a CNC machine with different utensils. For instance, a CNC with a drill, with few changes can become a plotter with a pen or cutting machine to cut cardboard or stickers. In order to do that, we want project a CNC router with a mechanism that allows a fast utensil change and a controlling firmware which can use different utensils changing some configuration parameters.

The Rise and Shine LED clock has been designed to educate and encourage hacking and modifying of both software and hardware. This is a analogue style digital clock with multiple display states, a 24 hour alarm, a count down alarm, multiple alarm display states and a demo mode. One of the alarm states is a dawn simulating alarm, where the lights gradually come on over 20 minutes, enducing a natural waking sleeping pattern, with out the shock of a abrupt noisy alarm sound. Hence the name "Rise and Shine", although the name also works well with the educational objectives.

Open Hardware EDF jet based around the F-15. All of the parts (well most of the parts) of this model can be cut via CNC or by hand. The documentation is released under the CC BY-SA V3.0 license. If you would like to contribute, or just to show off your work and possible modifications, the best way is to start a build thread in the forums. Together we can make a well documented, high quality design that an intermediate modeller could build.

The Praxis Zero is a modular framework for creating guitar parts using CNC machinery.
