Computer Controlled Machining
Before starting the Fab Academy I had little to no knowledge about CNC routers. As a matter of fact I had just discovered about their existence a few months prior the start of the Fab Academy, so it goes without saying I had never laid a finger on one.
This lecture was mostly focused on how CNC routers work, with special in-depth detail on milling-bit and all its possible variants forms. Neil’s addressed the topic of safety recursively during this lecture, telling us to be careful about the various safety procedures.
The assignments for the first week were:
I. Make something big.
Highlighted necessary tools:
>> Shopbot CNC Router
As a prelude to thank all the other memebers of the Fab Academy @ DeWaag for their patitience and for giving up some of their time to compensate for my inability to use the machine. I was pretty terrified by this machine at first, so much so I gave up on using the machine on Friday on my assigned slot.
