The ZornStrap is a repstrap based on Mendel electronics and prefabricated components and extruded aluminium. The Goal is to get a working system within a short period of time, capable of the same accuracy as the original Mendel, but with much larger build volume. It will be used to print mendel parts and other components, but should also a a later stage be able to do milling and drilling jobs. The name is inspired by the "Sudetendeutsch Akademische Landsmannschaft Zornstrein zu Leoben", a students fraternity at the university. All current team members are members of that fraternity, but the team is of course open for all that want to join in. The team members consists of students of the following studies

  • a material scientist/metallurgist
  • another material scientist who studied technical mathematics for a year befor switching studies
  • a mechanical engineer
  • a polymer scientist
  • a mining engineer who studied robotics for a year befor switching studies

The project aims at improving our overall skill and improving the acceptance of open source solutions with our colleagues. It will also be a valuable extension to a linux Distribution designed for CAD/CAE similar to CAE-Linux, that we are currently developing. A link to the project page will be added later, however it is currently only available in German.
