07. Computer controlled machining¶

Part one : Assignments¶

1. Group assignment:¶

Complete your lab’s safety training .
Test runout, alignment, fixturing, speeds, feeds, materials and toolpaths for your machine.
Document your work to the group work page and reflect on your individual page what you learned

2. Individual assignment:¶

Make (design+mill+assemble) something big.

3. Task¶

Linked to the group assignment page.
Document how you designed your project(something big)
Documented how you made your CAM-toolpath.
Documented how you made someting BIG(setting up the machine).
Described problems and how you fixed them.
Included your design files and ‘hero shot’ of your final product.

Part two : What I did¶

2. Individual project¶

overview 1.1. What is Computer controlled machining Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) is the use of software and computer-controlled machinery to automate a manufacturing process. Based on that definition, you need three components for a CAM system to function: Software that tells a machine how to make a product by generating toolpaths

1.2. Software
- FUSION 360
- SOLIDWORKS
- SOLIDEDGE
1.3. Machine and tools MACHINE [shopbot] (https://design-milk.com/shopbot-brings-cnc-machines-to-your-garage-or-your-desk/)

TOOL 1/8” Downcut End Mill

1.4. material the material used is MDF MDF
Design

2.1. Fusion 360

I exported the file in dxf poula format FAO su V carve Pr
Tools path We will in this part of our work generate toolpaths. we will use Vcarve software.

3.1. V-carve

Vacarev is a softare that is used to generate toolpath and disign. in my case i use it to only generate the toolpath, step - you can open the software and put the DXF inside on the v carve workspace.

you can also improt dxf file ( go to fil and clic on import )
an other way you can open dxf file with it (right cli on the fil and do open whith and select V carve )
