well i am looking at making full 3d parts with it i am not sure if a fourth axis in my vmc or the shaper is going to be more profitable. I do quit large volumes of the parts they do not have really tight tolerance around +/-.005 they are out of g10 plastic and some other materials along the same lines. what i am thinking is making a master out of alum. mounting it to a full rotating fixture with a finger/foot that follows the templet and with cutting wheels machines the exact replica in other multiple stations....
Not sure if you can quit invision what i am talking about but these machines i belive where quit popular before cnc...? |
