We are part of the Open Source Hardware Enterprise (OSHE) Pick-and-Place project. This project was made possible by students at Michigan Technological University and was designed to create a low-cost PCB-building machine accessible to hobbyists and other students. Currently, many pick-and-place machines are expensive and are found only in industry.

  The OSHE Pick and Place is an entirely open-source system that uses readily available components and is assembled and operated with no specialized tooling. Other OSHE projects can be found here!

This project was designed first and foremost with the components and hardware of the Creality Ender 3 in mind. It can be built with individually sourced parts, but it will be more difficult.

  Follow along with our documentation to learn how to build this project and more about the development of our pick and place machine. Included in our repo is a folder of our printable CAD STEP files as well as completed assembly. Further instructions for printing are included there.

  Make sure to check out the OpenPnP website and their GitHub for a range of open-source pick-and-place projects and related information.
