The goal of this project was to create a CNC machine capable of producing parts for other projects and to be able to manufacture both large flat parts as well as small, more detailed parts, an example of which is shown in the form of this CNC-cut wooden topological map. To meet these requirements, a machine with a large flat cutting area and a more restricted Z height that only had to be a small multiple of the typical maximum material thickness.
The cnc machine was designed in fusion 360. It used a combination of 3D models of parts from the internet of parts and 3d models of part to be manufactured using 3d printing and to be cut from wood.
