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

User interface(s)

• pluggable package sources - github support, heirloom tech package source

• one-click pushing to github / forking

• event driven multi machine syncronization - opencv, external sensor, etc

• description of the master controller scheme

• scrape mcmaster diagrams for relevant parameters + basic design shapes
