Machine Design

In this week and the week about Mechanical Design we design, build and motorize a Computer Numeric Control 3 axis machine, with 2 more axes on the placement surface. Although the machine was not finished, the 3 axis mechanisms work and the motors are mounted and functional. The electronic board controller for the motors has been damaged and they could not be tested. The spindle was mounted but it does not have an end-mill fixing device.

I have contributed to machine design in: expressing ideas for construction, sanding the cut pieces, working the sliders for smooth center box movement, shopping for parts, soldering cables and general assembly. But my main contribution was on the software stack to control the motors and the git repository for team collaboration.

The tasks I contributed with for the machine we constructed are on my page of the group assignment website.
