CNC Router and Multi-funcional Tools

Project Name: Multi-functional Production Machine
Outcomes:
  • A model of a 3-axis CNC router is created
  • Understood mechanical design that considers precision and accuracy
Responsibility:
  • Making design choices of CNC router including actuator and power transmission system, electronics
  • Designind CNC router mechanical CAD design from Solidworks
  • Conducting strain and stress analysis using Solidworks Simulations
  • Creating new solutions to have different tools
Project Objectives:
  • Developing a low-cost 3 axis CNC router for basic aluminum cutting for makers and DIYers.
  • Expanding my machine parkour to have more material choices in my future projects.

Others
  • Understanding how to design CNC router considering allignments, ease of assembly
  • Ability to use motor driver
  • Understanding of fundamental mechanical parts (bearings, transmission system, power system, etc.)
  • Ability to design analog circuit for micro-controller (variable resistance, analog output sensor
Background of the Project

Developing a low-cost 3 axis CNC router for basic aluminum cutting for makers and DIYers. Afterwards, I designed different tools such as laser cutter, 3D printer tool-heads. With an electromagnet, machine can automatically change the tool-head and can bu multifuncional production machine.
