Design

We will base our design off of the RepRap head and the Fab@Home gantry

- Squirting/extruding low temperature material:
We will heat a tube of edible/non-toxic material at a low temperature and squirt/extrude it in layers

- 3-axis gantry: Modella-style table chassis with a head that moves along 3-axes
