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

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.

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

The final result
