CNC Machine

A low-cost open source CNC project


How can my computer really create something practical? What if it could print IKEA-ish furniture?

  • Cheap and open source computer production.
  • Relatively compact for a 4x8 CNC, unfortunately accuracy is sacrificed.
  • Use Fusion 360 to design and create gcode. Python is the interface that sends commands to an arduino controller.

Learning how it's done. There's a human huge amount of wondering how the heck this stuff was done. Why not just left the ground up and figure it out.

Dreaming up ideas and building them in 3-D software is fun. Realizing these ideas is time consuming expensive

This Ikea printer printing out needed furniture and other products
* Building in the computer first
* Saving money, doing this on the cheap in a practical affordable way
* What is the practical application of math. What did I learn high school? How can the computer be combined with math to create physical objects?
* Applying geometry, trigonometry and physics
* Digging up what I learned long ago. Learning it more deeply
* Fun with math.
* Math as creative expression.
* Drawbot. Drop box fascinate me. It's see ability to see the the artist hand moving virtually.
