What is it?
A CNC mill is a piece of equipment that uses a rotary cutter to remove material. It uses paths to go back and forth to get rid of material.
- The mill can work on different materials from a harder plastic to wood to metals.
- Although the mill we have is smaller it does most of the same things as the bigger mills.
- There are many tools that can be used with the machine, they all do different things and take different amounts of material away.
Fusion 360
I don't really know what I would make but it would probably be something that could be in my room. I looked up porjects to make in the mill online and most things were engraved signs. So something like that might be cool to put in my room.
Overall I have learned a lot about the machine and what it does. It would have been nice to personally work on the mill but the videos were fine too. The videos were nice because it showed exactly how Fusion 360 and the mill worked together, it also showed the translation of the paths on Fusion with the paths the tool actually made.
