in the group we want to make a hand tufting cnc machine to make carpets with patterns designed by us. we took the next video as an inspiration also we want to make our machine like the handibot and make it the most portable possible we want to just put our machine on a table and be capable to use it we want to put the cloth in a frame that will let us have the cloth well stretched to avoid wrinkles and malfunction of the tool so we want to imitate the function of the frame used by the embroidery craftsman after some sketches we decide the best configuration for the machine using the materials that we had in the fablab and we arrive to build the mechanical part show in the picture below to finally get that design done we consider vibrations of the tool, size of the frame and the most practical way to do the machine.
we made the design of the end efector in solid works and we cut it in mdf
now we can move all the parts manually for then proceed to make the electronics that will control the motors
