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
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
