Build

There are a few required skills and machinery you'll need to have if you’re building this machine yourself, or for the machine builder if you are asking someone else to build it for you:

• General metalworking (cutting, drilling)
• Welding
• Turning (machining on a lathe)
• Laser cutting
• General electrical work (wiring safety switch, temperature controllers…)
• Motor electrical work (wiring motor, contactor, overload protection…)
• Programming (VFD if you use one)
• Advanced assembly work (require specific tools, measurement instruments and tolerances knowledge to align and assemble)
• Painting

⚙️ Machinery / specific tools needed:

• Grinder, chop saw, MIG/MAG or TIG, drill press
• Lathe
• Laser cutting (this can easily be subcontracted around the world)
• Torque wrench and bearing mounting tool
