For his senior design project at Swarthmore College, [Julian] decided to build a metalworking equivalent to the RepRap. [Julian]’s final project is a self-replicating milling machine, and hopefully ...

Able to measure in two axial directions, the Microgage 2D alignment kit from Pinpoint Laser Systems is useful for precision measuring, machine alignment, calibration, and other demanding industrial ...

It combines a compact laser transmitter with a digital receiver and display. The display reads out motion to accuracies of 0.001 in. as the laser movers across the receiver vertically or horizontally.
