Description

"Contraptor is a work in progress aiming to create an open-design construction set, with CNC and Cartesian robots in mind. It consists of perforated aluminum angle of various lengths (Erector-style) and linear sliding elements actuated by belts and threaded rods. One of the goals is manufacturability at home with basic tools, using inexpensive materials and parts readily available in hardware stores and online."
