Who else has been following the B-thing project in streetfighters?


Here's another of my favourites, a guy built his own CNC mill

Why maths? CAD CAM is all about making the computer do the work.
Talk to DavieSV on here about it, he is CNC man.

CAM is all well and good but operators need to know the long hand code, maths, etc etc for problem solving. I think the industry is still a long way off automated machining.

The CNC machinery is a mix of CAM and the old analoge systems, my old high school did have cnc lathes that ran on the old cards along with £100k 3 axis cam lathes

this is what the cam software can do (or a varient of the systems)
