I’m hoping to recruit a few students in Mumbai to build these machines at a maker space there. Not having a technical background, I’m actually finding it tricky to write an accurate ‘role description’ — hoping to get your advice and feedback on what the critical requirements should be for someone to be able to build this.
And I actually now have something for folks to build on, curious to get your thoughts and inputs —
Academic background (or strong demonstrated interest) in mechanics / electronics / engineering
Interest in tinkering (e.g. involved with the maker community)
Experience with rapid prototyping
Familiarity with machine tools and processes e.g. injection molding, milling, etc.
Knowledge of plastic types and properties
Experience working with recycled materials a plus
