Advanced multi-tool desktop factory based on OpenRail.
Intended to simultaneously operate multiple milling, laser, extrusion (FDM 3D Printing), and inkjet (powder 3D printing, 2D coloring) tools. Simulations indicate deflection should be 8mm/metricTon of lateral force.
Preview release, still in development. Actuators, brackets, and walls (for laser safety) in progress.

Reason for this Build
Ability to print a layer, then mill or laser trim a layer would be helpful. Also need quick, high-resolution PCB fabrication.Inspired by
Reliability, resolution, and usability deficiencies in other systems inspired this one.
