Introduction

The Helium Frog Delta Robot is being developed to examine the possibility of a self replicating delta style robot. The initial design will be used as a test bed for software development and to establish the accuracy of the mechanism compared to the RepRap Mendel.

Initially the robot will be equiped with a pen holder or similar to measure the accuracy and in further developments an extruder will be added.

The electronic system is likely to be Arduino Mega based.

CAD Design

The design work is bieng carried out on Catia V5 and will enable a full envelope clash study and to check the limits of movement for the flexible "Rose" joints. Cad Models in .stl format are available from the Helium Frog website.
