8. Computer controlled machining¶
Individual project¶
As an exercise for this theme of the Fab lab Academy I will design the structure of a robotic arm, the material to be used is 9mm MDF of 2.40 x 1.20m. Next, let’s present the evidence of the procedure performed:
1.- The design of the pieces was made in the fusion 360 software.
2.- For the machining process, the Apire 9.5 software is used, whereas a first step the material is selected, and we place the factory measurements, 9mm MDF of 2.40 x 1.20m.
3.- The vectorized parts were exported to the Apire 9.5 software as you can see below.
4.- The next step is to group the imported vectors.
5.- We chose the mechanizing operation to use.
6.- We configure the cutting depth.
7.- We encrypt the parameters of the tool to be used with the help of the Fablab speed and Feeds Calculator tool.
8.- To prevent the final parts from deteriorating in the cutting process, tabs are added.
9.- Finally we proceed to the cutting process, which is observed in 3D.
