Manual and CNC Machining
Worked on the full design and fabrication cycle of a chair component using both manual and CNC machining methods.
Highlights
- Manual Machining:
- Hands-on experience with lathes and milling machines.
- Learned to measure precisely, select proper feed rates, and prevent tool/workpiece damage.
- Adapted to challenges like overcutting and misalignment.
- CNC Machining:
- Programmed toolpaths using SolidCAM and wrote G-code for efficient machining.
- Minimized tool changes and machining time.
- Calibrated equipment and ensured alignment for tight-tolerance parts.
