Systems and methods for providing a personal affector machine

A personal affector machine for affecting material, the personal affector machine comprising:

• a frame for supporting an affector head, wherein the frame defines a cassette opening;
• a cassette comprising at least one clamp configured to removably secure the material within a cavity defined therein the cassette, wherein the cassette is insertable through the cassette opening;
• a means for translating the affector head relative to the frame;
• and
• a means for removing debris resulting from the affector head affecting the material,
• wherein the affector head is configurable to affect the material in a plurality of dimensions.

A method for affecting material, the method comprising the steps of:

• providing a personal affector machine comprising:
• a frame;
• a cross-member extending from the frame, the cross-member configured to translate relative to the frame;
• an affector head coupled to the cross-member, the affector head configured to translate relative to the frame, the affector head having an affector;
• and
• a cassette configured to removably secure the material therein, the cassette being removably attachable to the frame;
• securing the material therein the cassette;
• attaching the cassette to the personal affector machine through a cassette opening defined in the frame;
• removing portions of the material with the affector head;
• and
• providing a vacuum system articulably coupled to the affector head and configured to move in concert with the affector head to remove debris.

A personal affector machine for affecting material, the personal affector machine comprising:

• a frame;
• a cross-member extending from the frame, the cross-member configured to translate relative to the frame;
• an affector head coupled to the cross-member, the affector head configured to translate relative to the frame, the affector head having an affector;
• a cassette configured to removably secure the material therein, wherein the cassette comprises:
