This invention describes a personal machine that can precisely manipulate materials held within a removable container. It uses a sophisticated moving arm, capable of translating, rotating, and gyrating, to position a tool or "affector" against the material from various angles. Essentially, it's a versatile desktop fabrication device, like a 3D printer, designed to work on objects in three dimensions.
Why it matters: In 2013, personal multi-axis fabrication was complex and costly. Since then, the widespread availability of affordable motion components and mature open-source control software has made building such versatile desktop machines significantly easier.
