GentooCNC is a Gentoo based Linux didtribution designed to support hard real-time control of equipment such as industrial machine tools, 3D printers, laser cutters, robots, and coordinate measuring machines using LinuxCNC. GentooCNC is designed to target embedded platforms such as the BeagleBone, Mini2440, as well as conventional desktop platforms.

The goal of the project is the realization of a modular firmware that allows to control a CNC machine with different utensils. For instance, a CNC with a drill, with few changes can become a plotter with a pen or cutting machine to cut cardboard or stickers. In order to do that, we want project a CNC router with a mechanism that allows a fast utensil change and a controlling firmware which can use different utensils changing some configuration parameters.

CNC Machine Tool / Automation Framework + HMI

A robotic DIY styrofoam cutter consisting of one rotational and two translational axes. It cuts a variety of shapes out of styrofoam-like materials using a hot wire. This project documents the necessary hardware and software parts. Don't miss the follow-up project at http://raumschaum.org Its goal is to further develop hardware and software into an user friendly application.
