studio.FAB

thingiverse

Introducing studio.FAB, a versatile digital fabrication machine designed to tackle various tasks such as 3D printing, CNC milling, cutting thin materials like fabric and paper, and even ink, paint, or graphite plotting. Unlike other all-in-one devices that often compromise on performance, this machine features modular components for easy swapping in under 10 minutes to transition between different functions. The studio.FAB is based on the open-source RepRap platform and utilizes 25mm extruded aluminum t-slot frames for stability and an inverted-T structure for easier upgrades, component replacement, and accessibility to parts. A unique feature of this machine is its use of t-slots as linear bearings instead of smooth rods, providing increased rigidity during subtractive processes like milling. The creator has been steadily progressing with the design, planning to release detailed instructions, a bill of materials, and additional information about the project on their website.
