CNC Machine

Wednesday, February 11, 2009 | 0 Comments

Doug has been explaining to me how a CNC machine and its software works. This is really cool! You can take a photo, place it in an application called ArtCam which creates a 3D image of it that you can then manipulate into the image you want. Then it plots the machine's cut lines and saves it in a file that the machine can use.

It sounds easy but there's lots to learn about the software. But in the end it will let us cut out parts for the sailboat or custom parts for other people.
