Take control of your machine building and production processes with computer-run tools to safely build a durable machine for use in your garage or even a startup company. This book provides best practices for laser cutters, 3D printers, CNC mills, vinyl cutters, and more. You'll begin by learning the history of digitally controlled tools, as well as how they work and what materials you can use with them. With this knowledge, you won’t just learn how to make common machines work, you’ll go to the next level and build your own machine―whether that be a plasma cutter or a CNC milling machine.
Between chapters, a profile of an inspiring maker will show you how they use these tools to create amazing products, art, and even new machines! You’ll also find handy overviews of tools, software, and materials to use in a reference appendix. After reading Mastering Digitally Controlled Machines you’ll be able to create something for yourself, your community, or your company.
Each chapter of the book is either about a different digital fabrication machine type, software about how to make designs and operate machines, or how to build one. If you are interested in a specific type of machine, you can directly jump to the chapter and dive in to learn related information on how to use it, how it is made, or how to look for one to buy. Knowledge from chapters and parts made with different machines can be combined to achieve more advanced results, which can allow you to prototype your idea or even to build your own machine.
What You'll Learn:
Use accessible computer-controlled machines safely to make anything you want to build
Fit the right tool and materials with the right projects
Build your own CNC machine custom tailored to your project’s needs
Who This Book Is For:
People who want to understand how accessible computer-controlled tools work and build any kind of product themselves. Makerspaces, Fab Labs, and similar spaces will benefit. And people who want to create prototypes and products for themselves or their company/ startup, or to start creating prototypes without much prior knowledge.
