Multimachine and Flex Fab
Multimachine & Flex Fab- www.multimachine.net/ shows it - a general purpose metal fabrication tool including lathe, mill, and drill press. This could be the central tool piece of a flexible workshop - and this item is already open source! I have not assessed this more fully, but it appears to be a promising candidate to address tooling needs for a community- at absolutely rock bottom cost - eliminating thousands of dollars of expenditure requirement for similar abilities. The capacities and practicality of this lower tech 'personal fabber' need to be assessed fully. The multimachine could be the centerpieces enabling the fabrication of electric motor, CEB, sawmill, OSCar, microcombine and all other items that require processes from milling to drilling to lathing. Crucial.
