Equipment
We have put together the following recommended fabkit equipment based on the lessons learned from a series of proof of concepts deployed and running. Please feel free to adapt the list to your needs, budget, expertise and objectives.
Some important notes about procurement:
- You should always favor local procurement, to avoid unnecessary expenses and delays for shipping, import, etc.
- Understand your supply chain options for consumables and spare parts. Local procurement is likely going to be faster and cheaper than international shipping.
