Overview

A printed educational robot arm with CAD, firmware, BOM and assembly documents in one source repository. [S001]

Moveo's repository brings together CAD, printable STL files, a bill of materials, firmware and a user manual. Its intended use is education across mechanical design, automation and programming. The source tree provides more than a visual model, but it still requires a builder to reconcile the parts and electronics. [S001] [S004]

Source release does not mean a current kit offer

BCN3D's overview says the project was released for the community rather than commercialized by BCN3D. Do not read that historical statement as proof that a present-day kit, replacement-parts service or support contract is available. This review establishes no current supplier offer. [S001]

Start with BOM/BCN3D Moveo BOM.pdf and USER MANUAL at reviewed commit 0866a92501277636f76000a195d8a16d44b5b476, alongside its CAD and firmware. Mixing later third-party modifications into that collection would require another compatibility check. The root license is MIT; it does not license separately purchased components or establish their current availability. [S002] [S003] [S004]

The overview reports an assembly workshop involving 15 institutes. That is useful historical context, not an independently verified current user base. Current build cost, successful calibration and our support effort remain unmeasured. [S001]

Cost

No current, complete configuration-specific build cost has been established for this profile.

Source files and licenses

Available project sources support research coverage; complete build and commercial qualification remain separate.
