Description: With a 3D rendering CAD software such as Solidworks, one can view the CAD drawings from multiple angles, test the assemblies, and even create videos of the completed project. However, not all projects need to be machined as 3D objects. We will analyze a couple of projects designed in Solidworks and determine whether they should be exported as 2D files (.dxf, eps, ai) and machined with a square end mill bit in sheet goods, or 3D files (.stl) and machined in 3D with a ball nose bit. The ShopBot Handibot with FabMo Control software will be our CNC of choice for this demo. Diagram of expected setup: We are flexible, as long as the Handibot has room to work. I will pre-make samples so we only have to air cut if noise and dust is a problem. We have a handout ready to, well, hand out, with illustrations and work flow.
