Computer numerical control (CNC) machining, a pivotal technique in modern manufacturing, harnesses computerized software and hardware to orchestrate the movements of cutting tools, thereby sculpting materials into desired products. Renowned for their versatility, CNC machines excel at accurately cutting, drilling, and milling a wide array of materials including wood, metal, plastics, and composites. The accompanying software empowers users to craft intricate designs, ensuring meticulous replication by the machine.
This assignment delves into the realm of CNC by embarking on a project aimed at creating a substantial object. Through this endeavor, our objective is to grasp the machine's capabilities and explore its boundless potential.
My concept involves crafting a sled inspired by Santa Claus for the Christmas season. I've meticulously designed this sled using Fusion 360 software.
Following the design process, I translated the sled design into a flat pattern configuration.
Afterwards, I scaled down the design to create a miniature version of the sled. This allowed me to visually inspect its appearance and identify any potential errors. For this purpose, I utilized 3mm cardboard and employed the Zund machine for precision cutting.
Following the cutting process, I assembled the pieces together, resulting in the completed miniature sled.
