I want to make a suport for my laptop so, First I take the measurements of a laptop
width and length of my laptop
stamation of inclination of the laptop
I build the pieces based on the measures for this I use INVENTOR CAD software
the structure is simple, 3 parts and two equal parts
I import DXF files on VCARVE PRO software and I verify that all vectors are closed
I choose the correct end mill and verify all the correct configurations, I take note of RPM "16000" then I calculate chipload parameter, first I configurate drill then perfil
I put plywood on the shopbot, then I prepare the machine
first I calibrate the Z axis
after that I calibrate the X/Y axis
then I can send my curt configuration
FILES
After learning the whole process of manufacture with shopbot, I designed and built a bigger piece of furniture that will serve to save materials and objects within the FabLab
I designed 2 pieces, They will double to build the full furniture. These pieces were also designed in AutodeskInventor
As in previous case, we export the file in DXF format to carry the machine shopbot
