6 top-level parts · 121 parts in total · full bill of materials below
| # | Part | Qty | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Knife Reciprocation Drive 4 parts | 1× | Motor and crank converting rotation to fast vertical knife strokes through the plies. |
| 2 | Cutting Blade | 5× | Consumable straight blades |
| 3 | Vertical Lift (Z) 4 parts | 1× | Raises and lowers the whole knife so it plunges in and lifts clear between segments. |
| 4 | Theta Rotation Axis 4 parts | 1× | Rotates the knife so its flat stays tangent to the cut path through curves and corners. |
| 5 | Blade Sharpener 4 parts | 1× | Grinding wheels that automatically resharpen the blade edges on a programmed interval to hold cut quality. |
| 6 | Presser Foot 1 parts | 1× | Foot around the blade that holds the top plies flat as the knife enters. |
