Laser Cut RepRap

There are a growing number of laser-cut Rep(St)raps being developed. The (St) is in brackets because, as soon as we put a laser on one of these (which we have every intention of doing), they all immediately convert from being RepStraps to being RepRaps.

[Bits from Bytes]' Ian Adkins designed a lasercut version of Darwin, which you can either buy from them or make for yourself. This design has formed the basis of most of the laser-cut Rep(St)rap Darwin designs. Follow that link to go to the company's site.

[Ponoko] Vik Olliver has slightly modified Ian's design to print out on the [Ponoko] lasercutting service, which requires .EPS files that are edited under [Inkscape]. This version uses a more limited range of materials (such as ball-chain instead of toothed belt) and does not use rebated parts. It is currently a work-in-progress and can be found for free download [here].
