Computer-Controlled Machining | Fab Academy by Tony Schmitz and Tom Bodett

In this Fab Academy session, Tony Schmitz and Tom Bodett introduce the fundamentals of computer-controlled machining, exploring how CNC machines transform digital designs into large-scale physical objects. From precision metal cutting to digital woodworking, students learn the mechanics, programming, and design strategies needed to fabricate complex parts safely and efficiently. 🛠 What You’ll Learn ⚙️ CNC Machine Fundamentals How CNC machines work DC motors, ball screws, and machine motion systems Types of milling configurations Tool geometries and end mill design Up milling vs. down milling strategies 🧰 Cutting Tools & Machining Parameters Understanding flutes and tool shapes Speeds and feeds calculations Managing vibration in machining setups CAM programming and toolpath generation Using G-code and M-code to control CNC machines 🪵 CNC Woodworking & Joinery Tom Bodett demonstrates how CNC machines are used in digital woodworking, highlighting: The importance of wood grain direction Choosing the right cutting tools Avoiding tear-out during milling Joinery techniques like mortise and tenon and floating tenons He also shares a real-world project producing museum display cases using CNC machining. 📐 Weekly Assignment Students will: 🔹 Characterize CNC machine performance 🔹 Test machining parameters 🔹 Design a large-scale press-fit construction project 🔹 Create 3-axis CNC toolpaths for fabrication Safety is also emphasized, including proper protective equipment and safe machine operation. 🚀 Computer-controlled machining allows makers to build furniture, structures, machines, and large-scale prototypes directly from digital designs.
