Mechanical Design
Look at that, it´s a CNC!
Inspiration at first sight
I took as a basis the design of the structure of the Fab LAb milling machine
![](../assets/images/week 10/2.png)
I did all the design using SolidWorks
- we decided to use 15 mm MDF and cut the mirrored design to glue them and reach a thickness of 30 mm.
- I took the measurements of the milling machine and made a plan with the pieces considering the Kerf cut
- We drilled the holes to trap the structural tubes. In the extrusion of each piece, you can see the difference in thicknesses in the perforations.

I prepared the VCARVE File
It was necessary to create a recess for the whole, an external cut for the large pieces and an internal one for the perforations.![](../assets/images/week 10/5.png)
The assembly
To the assembly Isaac and Isaac did a very good job cutting the piece and adding some details for the assembly with the metal parts![](../assets/images/week 10/6.png)
