DB25 Male-to-Male Cable3x 4" IDC Cable 10-pin New improved 8-wire motors allow for the use of the more powerful ProboStep motor drivers and higher voltage power supplies. Lower inductance uni-polar configuration and higher voltage power supplies translate to faster top speeds. This kit works really well with you Seig X1 and X2 milling machine conversions. Other Machine Co. What is desktop manufacturing?

Other Machine Co.

Desktop manufacturing is like industrial manufacturing, but on a smaller scale. Manufacturing is the art of making objects and parts and devices, and in the modern industrial world, this is accomplished with the assistance of computer numerical controlled (CNC) machines. Decreases in the cost of motor control and advances in computer software have led to the development of small CNC machines (desktop) that have the same capabilities as their larger, industrial manufacturing machine counterparts. What are the benefits of desktop manufacturing? Flexibility You can make anything. Customization The DIY movement has inspired a generation of people to think outside of the big box store and to create their own products. Zeroing a CNC « Beatty Robotics. We enjoy machining custom aluminum robot parts on our CNC Mill.

Zeroing a CNC « Beatty Robotics

One of the best things about a CNC is that it can cut precise parts by following the geometry of a CAD drawing. We measure the precision and repeatability of our CNC in thousandths of an inch (0.001). But one of the challenges of using a CNC is to to get the raw material setup properly and make sure the spindle starts at exactly the right position. The CNC can only hold a precise position from its starting point. For example, let’s say you want to cut a pocket that is .050″ deep. 1.

Open-gantry

Open Gantry is a CNC machine designed specifically for cutting wikihouses with a total cost which is less than $400! Open Gantry is a work in progress! We do not guarantee anything. If you attempt to build this, prepare to spend many hours tweaking, calibrating, and potentially altering the models/design. We can't guarantee you will be able to source all the parts for less than $500.

Introduction A quick overview of what this guide has to offer to DIYers looking for a CNC mill - and to those who have already settled on low-cost 3D printing or any other rapid prototyping technology out there. My adventures in CNC robotics. My adventures in CNC robotics Introduction I'm a computer geek by day, but I have always dreamt of something more than just writing code: I hoped to make things that interact with the physical world.

My adventures in CNC robotics

To make it worse, I couldn't convince myself to take the now-popular route of buying the prefabricated robotics kits and putting them together in one of several predetermined ways. How Parts Are Made: Teaching Materials/References for Karl Ulrich. Karl T.

How Parts Are Made: Teaching Materials/References for Karl Ulrich

Ulrich (Links to an external site.) This page is from David Robertson's wiki (Links to an external site.), which in turn drew on my slides and lecture on this topic. The goal of this wiki is to show you the processes used to make most of the products you see in stores. This review is not meant to be comprehensive or detailed - there are hundreds of different types of processes and machines and there's a lot of knowledge that's been created about how to do each process reliably and well.

Solid freeform fabrication: DIY, on the cheap, and made of pure sugar. In February we gave a sneak preview of our project to construct a home-built three dimensional fabricator.

Solid freeform fabrication: DIY, on the cheap, and made of pure sugar

Our design goals were (1) a low cost design leveraging recycled components (2) large printable volume emphasized over high resolution, and (3) ability to use low-cost printing media including granulated sugar. We are extremely pleased to be able to report that it has been a success: Our three dimensional fabricator is now fully operational and we have used it to print several large, low-resolution, objects out of pure sugar. The general idea of our build process– that of stacking solid two-dimensional printed layers– is actually common to most solid freeform fabrication methods.

Photo 1 - Chris and his friend put together this unit; laser cutting the parts out of half inch acrylic. Not only does it look super it must weigh a ton. But kudos, anyone who's worked with acrylic knows laser cutting it is great but it is a very very unfriendly material to drill and there is a lot of side drilling in this design. Good job guys, check out more details (and photos including some testing with circuit boards) on Chris's blog rainbowlazer.com. I particularly like his work with making 3-d objects out of 2d cuts (here) . Photo 2 - Sam McCaskill has finished his desktop CNC machine and it's looking really really nice.

Precision by DefaultShapeoko. February 28th, 2011 by bdring The second generation open source laser cutter/engraver design from buildlog.net is complete. The new machine is called the Buildlog.net 2.x Laser. The name comes from the fact that this is the second generation machine and it is basically a 2 axis design. The third, vertical axis, is manually controlled with an optional upgrade to digital control. The 2.x Laser takes all the optimizations learned from the first laser and all the other lasers documented on buildlog.net forum.

The usable work envelope is just under 12” x 20” x 4”. The first major improvement is in the linear bearing system. The next major improvement is in the electronics layout.

The following describes each of the options on the way down the path to machining. Area to Machine: This allows you to select to machine the entire relief model (Whole Model) as a single machining process, or to select just one vector outline or object (Selected Vector) to machine as an independent operation. The default is the whole model, so we'll leave it that way for now. There are times, however, where you might wish to only machine a small and single object of the whole model, or to define such an object differently than others within the whole relief. Strategy: This option gives the choice of: Raster in X - the cutting tool passes back and forth across the machined surface in parallel passes of the X (left-right) direction.

Raster Angle: Turn the parallel passes of the cutting tool at an angle from teh X-axis Allowance: This will leave a certain depth of material behind that is not cut, essentially offsetting the entire surface up the given distance. 5. Frogmill Instructions « design fabrication workshop.
