Lazarus AL100 Universal Constructor/Machine shop

The Lazarus AL100 is a small factory of tools able to produce equipment either autonomously from a schematic or under the guidance of a user. This design was commissioned by the Lorath Matriarchy for use aboard LSDF space faring vessels as well as for use in LSDF installations. To this end the LSDF produces and fields large numbers of the machine shop unit.

About

The Universal machine-shop is exactly as it sounds: a series of components designed to be fitted within a starship for the purpose of manufacture of mechanical components and even fine high-energy electronics.

It also includes equipment for the design and prototyping of new equipment, following the same techniques used by even the more advanced military engineers of our time.

It can be used for anything from the production and fine-tuning of new equipment, repairing powered-armor, fabricating new parts and even producing sub-parts to larger starship critical parts as so a stranded vessel may be able to lick it's wounds and continue on its journey.

Applications are vast and include: Creation of replacement parts, prototyping, mass-production in the field, problem solving, upgrading, duplication, reverse-engineering and the creation of specialized software for existing systems.

Some basic requirements

How it works

The mechanics are fairly straight forward, consisting of various Lorath technologies. Modifications may be made by a trained engineer.

Computing:

Production systems

The entire system is isolated as a sort of “factory floor” on the deck immediately below the interface chamber.

Using the Machine Shop

It is a simple process but it requires that either the ARIA is educated or the user has some engineering skill.

  1. One instructs and designs the product in a virtual canvas or uploads a schematic to the system.
  2. The schematic is checked to ensure it is “valid” (that is to say, it would function within three dimensions). Work is also taken to optimize any moving parts unless an override is stated.
  3. The system begins fabricating the various components. It is common for the assembler to rise components out of the floor onto the assembly arms in the interface chamber where the engineer can see the equipment in question being constructed.
  4. The device is completed and set onto the ground or suspended with the casimir force, ready to be moved.
