The Wishlist is an area to add specific tool and material requests. Tools donated or acquired by HeatSync Labs can be found on the Library page.

Assets

Lets pick out a list of 'essential' tools in each category. The Fab Lab might be a good starting point for this. For those that are prohibitively expensive, lets choose the ACTUAL tool we ACTUALLY want to buy and post a kickstarter campaign for it. For cheaper tools Auctions, Craigslist and Cheap Chinese Tools are probably the way to go to start.

  • Embedded Circuit Design/Electronics Lab Tools
  • Laser Cutter Success!
  • CNC Router We might be able to do some fun stuff with laser in meantime (maybe 3/4" mdf?)
  • CNC Milling Machine -we can CNC our Mini Mill!
  • CNC Lathe -we're borrowing one of Corey's and we can CNC our 7x10!
  • Lathe - We have 3 at this point, but someone suggests Harrison Alpha Model
  • Plasma Cutter --> http://www.plasmacam.com/products-index.php
  • Waterjet Cutter - Omax?
  • Drill Press - we have 2, but presumably a better one
  • Circular Saw - We're eyeing a Hitachi C8FSHE 8-1/2
  • Table Saw - we get a ryobi from home depot for free!
  • Air Compressor - we have a cheap Ace Hardware version, but its a little rough
  • Band Saw - We have the Harbor Freight model, but its a little rough..
  • Air filtration - for wood projects and routers, etc. Can we
  • 3D Scanner - Nextgen?
  • Pick and Place - APS?

Software

When purchasing we, as a rule, do not want non commercial versions of software as we are prototyping and creating

  • Matlab - 1 license 2k at mathworks
  • Corel draw 399 at corel
  • Illustrator 600 on adobe or cs5 premium design on techsoup (mac) $55 esd
  • (OR) CS5 Design (inc photoshop extended, flash catalyst and professional) for 170(mac) on techsoup
  • Eagle standard (4x6) $750, pro $1500
  • Or Alibre? something else?
  • Autocad 2012 w subscription $4425, w/o $3995 download only on autodesk - 2011 mac $? on techsoup
  • Autocad inventor only in packages now.. (windows) $? on techsoup
  • SolidWorks - 4k, 5.5k, or 8k - or education version but that requires nothing designed be made commercially so no
  • Mach CNC control software - $175 + $50 - Generously offered to us by developer, ArtSoft
  • flickr pro accounts $6 on techsoup

Research facts

  • corel we dont want educator (non commercial only)
  • adobe we can't as we're not an accredited school
  • adobe esd means download only
  • eagle nonprofit is non commercial
