An open-source desktop electronics manufacturing system that can pick and place electronic components, 3D print objects, flying probe test, hot air SMT/selective solder, laser engrave/cut, apply solder paste, print with conductive ink, and pen plot.
What inspired you to make this project?:
The project came out of a personal frustration of hand-placing SMT parts for personal projects because there were no affordable robotic SMT assembly systems. We are also advancing one of RepRap's original project goal to make a machine that can completely self-replicate.
