This week of the computer controlled machining was very interesting to me because I had time to design the cover of my final project though it ends designing like prototype(sample) because of the dimension to check if it can be possible to print it.

When we say Computer-controlled machining which also known as CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining means a manufacturing process in which a computer controls the movement of tools and machinery to create precise parts and components.

CNC machines are programmed with instructions that dictate how the machine should move and cut the material. The instructions are created using specialized software, which allows the user to design the part or component and generate the necessary code(G-code).The CNC machine then reads the code and executes the instructions, cutting and shaping the material to the desired specifications,more.

After understanding the definition of Computer Numerical Control and the research on what I can design,This directs me to start the whole procedures to make my design touchable,Below are the steps I followed to make the design;
