Personal Project: 3 axis stainless steel CNC router (on a budget) Apart from all the data analysis and biomedical stuff, I also really enjoy woodworking and the occasional CAD/Robotics project. In 2016/2017 I built myself a 3 axis CNC machine. I don’t have many robotics projects in my professional portfolio, so I figured I’d add a personal project. Figure 1: The design that I ended up settling on (made using Autodesk Inventor): Figure 2: Work in progress Figure 3: Assembled machine standing in our loft Figure 4: First usable parts done (bellows still conspicuously absent) So… some quick specifications: - Cutting volume: roughly 900mm x 600mm x 150 mm Cutting speed: 2000 mm/min, the fastest that I have had the courage to cut using a 6mm bit and 3mm step over. Spindle: 1.5 kW air cooled with ER 11 collet. Since this was my own private project, the documentation on it is incredibly poor and it has a distinctly DIY feel to it, but I hope this helps to illustrate that I am able to design and build relatively large and complex machines as well.
