Design guidelines:
- each component part should be contained in it's own CAD file
- each subcomponent part should be contained in it's own module inside the CAD file
- modules should render a part at 0+,0+,0+ ready for manufacture
- assemblies should render at 0,0,0- ready for modeling
- transitioning to NopSCADLib
- differentiate between CAD for presentation, and production
Outputs:
- Consumable CAD files - STL, STEP
- Graphic renderings from standard perspective(s)
- BOM
- Tool, object, and process dependency graphs
- g-code
- Step-by-step assembly instructions
High interest models:
- drill bits
- end mills
- high precision / load linear bearings
- printable 1kW electric motor
CAD files
- specify per-coastline padding around CAD models?
- object oriented jscad files, with custom translation methods, etc.
- enhance http://reprap.org/wiki/RBS and http://reprap.org/wiki/RBS_Overview
