Computer-Controlled Machining

For this assignment, we did a house for my dogs. So I present you my two pugs, Uchuva and Amelie:

I did a very basic house on solidworks initially. I was supposed to use the the milling cutter, but was temporary damaged. And so, I had to use the laser cutter.

I improved the design and made the house two floor. Changed the size of the door and added a second door with a ramp to climb to the second floor.

I also replaced the windows with some flower shaped holes. A I had to use 5mm MDS I had to cut the corners of some pieces (like the one in the ramp) to place the a structural support. Next, the a picture of the house before assembly   ( just by hand) can be seen.

After, wood structure has been attached and one of the roof slices has only been attached to the other slice of the roof to be able to open it.

ToDo: apply some impermeable paint and test it with the dogs.
