RepRapMicron pushes open-source 3D printing to microscopic scales

Original: RepRapMicron

Vik Olliver, a co-founder of the RepRap self-replicating printer project, has released RepRapMicron, an open-source project aiming to build machines capable of manipulating and manufacturing at the microscopic scale. Building on RepRap's ethos of self-replicating hardware, the project is documented on GitHub and is drawing attention among hardware and robotics enthusiasts debating how far open-source fabrication can shrink.

Why now: The involvement of a RepRap founder and the ambition of microscale open-source fabrication make it a talking point in maker and robotics communities.
