Beschreibung

This course is a prerequisite for using the machines independently in MotionLab.Berlin!

Workshops on Saturdays will be held in German while Thursdays will be held in English.

Goals and Skills

Within the six hours of this workshop you will get an insight into 3-axis CNC machining for wood and be enabled you to safely use MotionLab.Berlins 3-axis CNC mill.
The workshop will be all about the 3-axis Routermax 1325 CNC mill. First you will learn how to create a G-code from an exemplary design get familiar with the safety instructions in MotionLab.Berlins Woodlab. You will then train on MotionLab.Berlin’s milling machine and have gone through the process of planning and milling an examplary part using the 3-axis Routermax 1325 CNC.
At the end of the two days of this workshop you will be able to indepenently use the 3-axis CNC mill to work on your own individual projects.

Because workshop is part of the CAD–CAM–CNC process chain, we strongly recommend attending the „Autodesk Fusion 360 CAM for CNC Machining“ workshop prior to this hands-on machine workshop. In the „Autodesk Fusion 360 CAM for CNC Machining“ workshop you will learn how to set up your design for the milling. It covers setting milling paths, nesting your components and showcase the milling process – all in Fusion 360 CAM. These skills are essential to be able to create a GCode from you design that can be exported to the CNC mill and will not be covered in this „Introduction to 3-Axis CNC Machining“ workshop. If you have no experience in that area, please attend the „Autodesk Fusion 360 CAM for CNC Machining“ workshop first.

Method

In six hours, you are going to learn how to

• transfer your file to the CNC machine
• operating the CNC machine with control software MACH 3
• create the GCode for the Routermax 1325 CNC mill
• mill the components on the 3-axis Routermax 1325 CNC
• safely use the Routermax 1325 CNC mill

Other material for the workshop will be provided and are included.

Note: This workshop can only take place if there is a required minimum of two participants reached. In case you are the only participant for this workshop you will be noticed 24 hours prior to the workshop and given an alternative date.
