3-Axis Mini CNC Machine (Wood / Foam)

Manufacturing / AutomationMedium-HardWorkshop: medium

Approx. component budget: Rs. 14,000 - 18,000

Objective

Build a small CNC machine and test its positioning accuracy and cut quality on soft materials.

A rigid frame, three stepper-driven axes with lead screws or belts, a small router, stepper drivers and a GRBL controller.

CNC, G-code and motion systems, which are strong manufacturing skills.

Free CAM and GRBL software. Needs careful alignment and some electronics comfort.

Built and tested 3-Axis Mini CNC Machine (Wood / Foam); objective: build a small CNC machine and test its positioning accuracy and cut quality on soft materials.
Measured and analysed positioning accuracy and repeatability (mm) and Cut quality on wood or foam; wrote the report and presented the results in a viva. Add your own numbers: [x].

Replace [x] with your own measured results. Write only what you really did.
