RepRapMicron brings open-source micro-scale fabrication

Original: RepRapMicron

Vik Olliver, a co-founder of the RepRap self-replicating 3D printer project, has released RepRapMicron, an open-source project aiming to build a machine capable of manipulating and building at microscopic scales. Documentation is hosted on a public wiki, extending the RepRap ethos of freely shared hardware designs down to the micron level. Discussion is drawing attention from the open-source hardware community, with many curious about whether the approach can really achieve micro-fabrication with hobbyist-grade parts.

Why now: It revives interest in the RepRap legacy by attempting open-source fabrication at an unexpectedly tiny scale.
