DC206 MEETING PRESENTATION:
Bringing an idea into the physical world with a CNC mill
by Phil
Design is complicated, and manufacturing is complicated. Integrating the two to play well with one another adds to this complexity. With this demo, I would like to give the audience a crash course in product and industrial design. It is my hope that you will learn to:
– discover a need for a physical product
– develop a scope of design criteria
– use the design criteria to develop a 3 dimensional model
– utilize Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) software to direct a manufacturing process (in this case, CNC ‘Computer Numerical Control” 3 axis milling)
Once we’re done with these, we’ll be utilizing our on-prem CNC mill to cut our part out of aluminum in a live demo!

Park facing the street, not in front of other businesses, or you’ll get towed.
