CNC Milling Machine
MIE341 Mechanical Engineering Design April 2015 For our 3rd year design project, we were tasked with designing a CNC milling machine for small to mid-size businesses. After comparing models available for purchase, we determined that the least developed market was that of lower budget 5-axis machines . Collaborating in a group of 6, we developed a prototype of a 5-axis machine that costs roughly half of similar models on the market. Using an iterative process, multiple alternatives were evaluated before proceeding with the final design . CAD models were then produced using Solidworks to ensure the machine met required engineering specifications. |
