Computer Controlled Machining

Computer Controlled Machining, also known as Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machining, is a manufacturing process in which computer software and hardware are used to control the movement and operation of machine tools. It involves the use of computer-controlled machines, such as mills, lathes, routers, and grinders, to remove material from a workpiece and shape it into a desired form.

Group Assignment

We learned about spindle speed, safety precautions, and optimizing cutting time by adjusting the spindle rotation and feed rate. We also covered safety tips for the CNC router room. The best result we achieved was with a feed rate of 90 and a spindle speed of 18,000. For more detailed information, please visit [Zainab’s website].

Individual Assignment

The Shelving

I choose to do shelving because I need it to organize my stuff for cleaning and some part to my car.

The Design

I use Fusion 360 to design my shelving. Her same images show you how I make the design.

The 2D Design

Firs I make 2D design base in the real measurement like the width of the shelve is 40 cm and for length is 70 cm. And for Colum the length is 70 cm and the width is 8 cm. For joint hole I make it 1.2 cm like thickness of bloodwood to fit tight and not moving.

The 3D Design

I make The 2D design to 3D design to make sure it will fit after we cutting it. You can see the steps in the blow video.

To download the 3D design as F3D file click her.

To download the 2D design as DXF file click her.

cutting The Shelving

We use CNC to cut the design. First we save the design as dxf file. Then we but the design in the computer that connected to CNC the we make this steps.

Then we started the CNC.


Installation The Shelving

After the CNC finish cutting I take the pieces and started sanding them to make it smooth.

Then I use Peed-N-Wax to wax the shelving.

Then I installation the shelving by using rubber mallet.

The Result
