joint testfor assembly
before we proceed with final cutting we test the machine regarding to the sellected cutting tools
also the working principle of machine was described in deatail by our instructor , where he explains the main part of our cnc and its its fuctioning
Test run out, , alignment fixtures , speed , feed material and toolpaths for your machine
more detail will shown on class link
furter description for group assignment you can find the link of our group plat form.
Building a hive that can conserve and protect bees while also being manufactured using a
CNC machine can be an innovative and sustainable solution. The idea may have stemmed from
a desire to address the ongoing decline in bee populations and the need for more eco-friendly manufacturing processes.
Using a CNC machine can allow for precision cutting and efficient use of materials, while also reducing waste.
The hive design may also incorporate features such as insulation to protect the bees from harsh weather conditions and ventilation to prevent the buildup of harmful toxins.
By combining technology and environmental consciousness,
this idea can potentially make a positive impact on both the bee population and the planet.
Design(Design consideration )
Material to be used during manufacring procees : here you consider its propertis(strength of material) , surface finishing, and its working condition ( if it can last long when it is eposed on worm or cold environment)
type of manufacturing process you are going to use (adtive or substructive manufacturing)
machining time ( HOW long this design will take to be manufactured)
Machining cost
Material handlering (which kind of machne or the way we are going to use in order to load and un lad machine)
SAFETY factor ( here you have to consider the the safety of the user and opereational cost of the designed model ever maintaince cost. )
Design (Computer Aided design)
here I am goinng to use solidworks soft ware to design my model the flow of process used to design my idea is below.
iIstarted my design from skecth ,put dimension and then extrude as features the picctures below
the here you see the way i add joints.
After designing parts i did assebly of my one of hive part.
i have planed to design the loof of my hive that's how the loof is look like
Design Engineering (COMPUTER AIDED ENGINEERING )
here i did simulation for structure analysis of my hive
the procedure used for smulatoin is below.
solidworks smulatio procedure
The manufacturing process for a my hive designed in SolidWorks and cut using a Shopbot CNC machine with a V-Curve involves several steps.
First, the CAD model is created in SolidWorks and exported as an xdf file. Next, tool paths are generated using CAM software, taking into account the V-shaped cutting tool.
The material is then prepared by cutting it to the appropriate size and shape. The CNC machine is set up by configuring it to match the material and tool specifications, and the program is run.
During the cutting process, the machine follows the tool paths, cutting the part from the material using the end milling cuter.
This results in a high-quality, precise part that can be used in a wide range of applications.

Issues Faced and how the Essues were Address
during the time of assembly of my some thing big i faced the challenge of fittiness as the dog borne was not concerns.
defition of dogbone:
Dogbone fillets are a creative method used in engineering and manufacturing to provide a precise fit between two components in an assembly.
Dogbone cuts or fillets are intentionally used to overcut into a corner when constructing a part that needs to fit tightly with another.
To deal with any dimensional tolerances or changes in the production process, these fillets are often rounded or curved pieces. A smoother transition is made possible and any potential interference or misalignment problems are avoided when the pieces are put together thanks to the introduction of dogbone fillets, which essentially eliminate the material at the corners. This rigorous method guarantees a tight fit between parts, fostering maximum functionality and maximizing the assembly's overall performance.
the issue was the dog bone which is important when you are cutting on cnc, becouse circulor cutting tooll can't make perfect cut finger joint tool path.
To address the issue i designed the new model to be cuted on cnc which was my housing of the cold room ,below you can find the picture which shows how dog bone cut solvede the issue of fitness during the assembly
ASSEBLY OF MY HOUSING OF MY COLDROOM AFTER ADDRESS THE ISSUE OF DOG BONE
After addresing the problem of dog bone all components fited to gether easly during assembly of my final project.
