The SLS route includes laser-cut parts

The optimized design requires an SLS or Multijet service or machine and five laser-cut pieces from two designs. Its instructions call for four shoulder reinforcements and an upper plate, preferably in 2 mm aluminum. They also distinguish printable STL parts from auxiliary CAD and an upper-plate model intended only for visualization. This matters when preparing a fabrication order: exporting every CAD object as a print would not follow the documented build. [S005]

The same notes identify separate camera, LED-matrix and cable-management supports, plus a bracket for Seed Robotics RH4D hands. These are interfaces to a larger component set, not proof that the CAD download includes every actuator, hand, sensor and board. A complete configuration-specific BOM, delivered cost and compatible electronics set remain to be reconciled. [S005]

Keep software and attribution with their own artifacts

We preserved the CAD and NICO-software repositories at separate immutable commits. The software overview points to its wiki for simulation and to separate build documentation; no installation or matching physical setup was reproduced here. [S001] [S002] [S006]

Licenses also differ by source. The SLS contribution and ear attribution declare CC BY-SA 3.0, while the root CAD overview credits an iCub-derived head. The software repository assigns GPL v3-or-later to code and CC BY-SA 4.0 to other files. Those software terms should not be extended automatically to every CAD component. A future build or support offer needs the per-part provenance and chosen manufacturing route resolved alongside calibration and maintenance work. [S001] [S005] [S006]
