Fabtotum prototype pre-production
Here you can see a nema 17 motor mount being milled in the Gcode simulation software cutviewer mill to preview the toolpath and improve the finished component.The material is an high resistant alluminium alloy.
Being able to virtually produce components is a key step in the design workflow,and we are trying to exploit the most from this method,storming new designs and new machining choices to reduce time consumption and improve reliability of the components.
Stay tuned.
Hi,
I hope you can make this happen, I really want one. I suggest while the design is evolving that you make it so the scanner portion can be mounted outside of the work envelope so that items larger items can be scanned, (like the side of a car, or someone’s head) Mount the scanner on the indexing turntable and sweep across the subject surface. This would add a great many possibilities to what can be brought into the software environment for manipulation or creating small parts that fit onto the big real world part.
Best wishes,
Martin Cooper
