Expected product quality standards
and requirements
Comparable products range in quality. Quality is not always dependent on price. Many of the lesser quality products utilise good quality mechanical components however lack a good design to utilise those components fully. However higher quality products utilise marginally substandard parts however generally have a good design lacking only in some minor areas.
This product shall use high quality products and utilise well thought out design principles to allow for highly accurate results that are repeatable and efficient.
The machine shall be finished to a high standard.

This product shall use high quality products and utilise well thought out design principles to allow for highly accurate results that are repeatable and efficient.
The machine shall be finished to a high standard.
Expected product size and weight
The external dimensions of this machine shall be no larger than 2000x2000x1800mm
Weight of the machine must not weigh more than 4 tonnes.
Expected product aesthetics
The external dimensions of this machine shall be no larger than 2000x2000x1800mm
Weight of the machine must not weigh more than 4 tonnes.
Expected product aesthetics
The product has no aesthetics constraints, other than the machine needing to be presentable and finished to a high standard.
Expected product ergonomic requirements
The product will need to be designed with considerations to the ergonomics of work holding and loading of materials.
The machine has no service life considerations as it will be overbuilt beyond requirement to ensure accuracy and repeatability is suitable. It will be constructed with components with quality that in many cases exceeds that of rival commercial machines.
The machine will be required to be run from a 240v 30A domestic single phase electrical supply.
The product should be able to remove 300cc/minute of material MDF and 100cc/minute of 6061 T6 Aluminum.
It should be able to achieve an accuracy and repeatability of +/- 0.1mm or better.
Have a working area of at least 1250x1250x200mm
The machine should be built with a design and standard that requires only minor maintenance tasks throughout its lifetime. Routine maintenance should be limited to re oiling components and tasks of such magnitude as regular tasks this should happen once a month. Other tasks such as aligning components should be much less frequent, once every 6 months.
Potential operator hazards
Around the machine the operator should wear safety glasses, a sign will be fixed to the machine to remind the operator of this requirement. The machine will also have emergency stop buttons, limit switched and other items to ensure the safety of the operator.
All safety hazards resulting from manufacturing and assembly will be covered by the workshop risk assessment
The machine will have the ability to stop in the event that loads become too high. With loads that are two high this indicates a problem. This will protect both the machine and the operator.
The machine shall have to operate in a temperature environment between -10 degree Celsius and +30 degree Celsius.
The machine shall have to operate in a humidity range of 30%-75%
The machine shall produce no more than 85dB of noise at a distance of 1m.
Expected product maintenance requirements
The machine will have to be oiled around once a month where required. Adjustments such as alignments and removing backlash from the machine will be performed every 6 months or as required.
All mechanical
components and electrical components should be purchased as opposed to made.
Material requirements
The product must be made out of a combination of materials that allow the machine to be outside the resonance range of 800-975hz.
The machine should not deflect with a cutting load of 80N more than 50micron.
Expected product recycling potential and expected disposal
The machine should be easily recyclable or the materials used be re purposed.
Manufacturing process requirements and limitations
The product must be made out of a combination of materials that allow the machine to be outside the resonance range of 800-975hz.
The machine should not deflect with a cutting load of 80N more than 50micron.
Expected product recycling potential and expected disposal
The machine should be easily recyclable or the materials used be re purposed.
Manufacturing process requirements and limitations
The machine needs to be designed so it can be produced in a
“standard” machine shop. Most modern machine shops have at least 3 Axis CNC
milling capability, manual lathes and manual universal milling machines.
Product packaging requirements
The machine will not need to be packaged as it is a “one off” that is not being sold
Marketing requirements and compatibility issues
As the machine will not be sold externally it has no marketing requirements.
The machine will only need to be compatible with current electrical regulations.
