Default Re: 3D Printing To CNC Machining

Gizafookinclue what you're making?

I do 3d design a lot at work and we get loads of stuff CNC'd so can give you a good idea.

Happy to help turn your fag packet drawing into a cad file/machining drawings.


However, you're barking up wrong tree with some of this stuff.... 2 plates and a joining bar... get them laser cut and weld them together, piece of ****.

What you need is a laser scanner can do it... but you'll have to wait a couple of weeks!

might be best if you pop a pic up of the part so we can see.
£50-60 is pretty ambitious, maybe that if you've 3d printed your pattern equipment!
