Types of Open Source Machine Tools[edit | edit source]
3D Printing[edit | edit source]
Open source 3D printers, exemplified by popular models such as the Prusa i3, are at the forefront of additive manufacturing. These machines employ the ingenious technique of layering materials, primarily thermoplastics, to bring three-dimensional objects to life.
Distinguished by their versatility, open source 3D printers offer various variations of additive manufacturing technologies, including Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), Stereolithography (SLA), and Selective Laser Sintering (SLS). This diverse range of printing methods caters to a multitude of applications, providing users with the flexibility to choose the most suitable technology for their specific needs.
In the realm of rapid prototyping, custom manufacturing, and even intricate medical modelling, open source 3D printers play a crucial role. Their accessibility, coupled with the historically collaborative nature of open-source, underscores their significance in community driving innovation and the world of three-dimensional digital fabrication.
The origins of Open Source Hardware (OSH) go back to the old first DIY RepRap designs. 3D Printers are therefore the historically speaking oldest OSMT and heavily inspired communities to find completely new approaches to development of technology. See The Cathedral and the Bazaar essay.
CNC Milling[edit | edit source]
Open source CNC mills, with the OpenBuilds WorkBee as a typical example, harness the power of Computer Numerical Control (CNC) to intricately cut, carve, and shape materials such as wood, metal, and plastics. The hallmark of these machines lies in their modular designs and diverse configurations, allowing them to cater to a wide spectrum of machining needs. Some special models are used as a router to mill PCB designs.
At their core, these CNC mills consist of key components like the spindle, axis system, and a control system equipped with open-source firmware like GRBL. The community-driven nature of their designs fosters a culture of customization and collaboration, empowering users to adapt the machines to their specific requirements. Some open source inspired machines are listed separately to show the variety of models especially in the MPCNC (mostly printed) context with their very active community and easy to reverse engineer as OSMT.
CNC mills find application across various industries, including woodworking, metalworking, PCB milling, and the fabrication of custom parts. The versatility and precision offered by open source CNC mills underscore their significance in democratizing advanced machining technologies and making them accessible to a broad range of users.
Laser Cutting[edit | edit source]
Laser cutters, represented by models like the Universal Laser Systems VLS6.60 and the Glowforge Pro, harness the power of focused laser beams to achieve precise cutting and engraving across a diverse array of materials. These innovative machines offer a dynamic range of cutting capabilities, thanks to the utilization of CO2, fiber, and diode lasers. (Which also represents most of the power differences.)
At the heart of these laser cutters are key components, including the laser source, optics system, motion control system, and a control interface driven by sophisticated software like LightBurn (free, not open source) or UGS (open source). This combination of hardware and software ensures not only precision in cutting but also seamless integration with user-friendly interfaces for efficient operation.
Whether in architectural models, custom signage, medical device fabrication, or personalized products, also in FabLabs laser cutters have become indispensable tools. Currently there are still not many open-source projects to reference.
Pick & Place[edit | edit source]
Open source Pick and Place machines, exemplified by small-scale solutions like LumenPnP, support the precision assembly of electronic components onto Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs). These machines leverage features such as vision systems, specialized placement heads, and efficient feeder systems to ensure accuracy throughout the assembly process. By automating the repetitive task of component placement, these open-source machines contribute to enhanced efficiency, reduced production time, and the democratization of electronics manufacturing. Small-Scale machines of this kind are also suited to be applied in mobile use-cases or home manufacturing automation or pre-production assembly.

Future Development Scenarios[edit | edit source]
Some of the "Open Source inspired Machine Tools" may turn fully open source and add collaborative value to the community. There are yet a lot of innovations build upon the existing models derived from the early machine models in both directions open source/source available to proprietary and vice versa. So here are a few proprietary technology mentions that shift the trend towards mobile applications and modular scalable designs to get inspiration from.
- 3D Printers (proprietary): Creality K1 or fast newcomers like Bambulab X1-carbon and P1S are popular models in the market with very unique characteristics. Snapmaker 2.0 Models can even switch into milling or laser mode and have a tool-changer modularity included.
- CNC Mills (proprietary): Some CNC-Mills which are also quite popular in the FabLab-Community are Stepcraft, X-Carve, Shapeoko.
- Laser Cutter (proprietary): Diode-Laser have meanwhile achieved an impressive and powerful peformance, with wattages from 20W up to 80W or even more, which makes them well suited for laser-cutting tasks. Popular are the xTool S1, the Creality Falcon2, the SF-A9 and CO2-Lasers like the chinese K40.

Software for Open Source Machine Tools[edit | edit source]
The scope of open-source software in the field of manufacturing and machine tools is vast and transformative. Open source software plays a crucial role in enhancing accessibility, customization, and collaboration within the manufacturing ecosystem.
Engineering software is often still proprietary, in order to assure as much open and accessible experience as possible here are some Software solutions to consider. For further details and extended collection visit the Software Tool Database of the Open Toolchain Foundation.[3]
- Control Systems and Firmware:
- Open-source control systems and firmware, such as GRBL for CNC machines like mills or LaserGRBL for Lasers, as well as some processor-platform-specific derivates like GRBL_ESP32 (now renamed to FluidNC), which ads WiFi-control to the system. For 3D-printers Marlin or Klipper provide a flexible and customizable foundation. Users can modify code to adapt machines for specific tasks or integrate additional features.
- Design and CAD Software:
- Open-source Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software, like FreeCAD or LibreCAD, allows users to create, modify, and visualize 3D models. For the development of electric circuit schematics and pcb-layout KICad is the first choice. This promotes interoperability and flexibility in designing components for manufacturing.
- CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) Software:
- CAM software, such as FreeCAD Path Workbench or LinuxCNC, converts CAD designs into toolpaths for CNC machines. A special kind of CAM is needed to prepare the extrusion-path for 3D-printers, because the software not only has to compute the movements on different layers, but also controls the molten plastics output on the extruder. This can be achived with a "slicer"-software, like PrusaSlicer and BambuStudio, which are both derivates of their ancestor Slic3r, or Cura.
- Machine Control Interfaces:
- Open-source interfaces, like Universal Gcode Sender (UGS) or bCNC, enable users to control CNC machines and 3D printers.
- Simulation and Visualization Tools:
- IoT and Automation:
- Open-source frameworks, such as Node-RED or OpenPLC, empower users to implement IoT (Internet of Things) and automation solutions in manufacturing. This can include sensor integration, data acquisition, and control systems automation. Also applications as Arduino is providing are used in many small and medium application
- Community Collaboration Platforms:
