This book was released on 2016-02-12 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 10 simple projects to make with a Personal CNC Router in your home workshop. The ideal starter for newcomers to using a CNC Router - no previous experience necessary. The basic concepts covered in this book are engraving, carving, component machining, craft projects, furniture making and clock making. A range of materials will be machined from plastic signs, solid wood, plywood, Corian, and acrylic sheet (Plexiglas / Perspex). The opportunities are endless on the type of material that can be machined and the projects that can be tackled. You are only limited by your own imagination. The only requirement is for the user to have a 3 axis CNC machine capable of 3D operation. The ideal bed size for these projects is 300mm x 300mm (12" x 12") but larger is fine. Many of the projects will work on a smaller bed size of 280mm x 220mm (11" x 8.5").

Download or read book Getting Started with CNC written by Edward Ford and published by Maker Media, Inc.. This book was released on 2016-08-11 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Getting Started with CNC is the definitive introduction to working with affordable desktop and benchtop CNCs, written by the creator of the popular open hardware CNC, the Shapeoko. Accessible 3D printing introduced the masses to computer-controlled additive fabrication. But the flip side of that is subtractive fabrication: instead of adding material to create a shape like a 3D printer does, a CNC starts with a solid piece of material and takes away from it. Although inexpensive 3D printers can make great things with plastic, a CNC can carve highly durable pieces out of a block of aluminum, wood, and other materials. This book covers the fundamentals of designing for--and working with--affordable ($500-$3000) CNCs.
