Hi all,
first of all I would like to present myself. I'm Mathieu and a soon to be graduated mechanical engineering student in Montreal. As part of my last semester project, I tought about making (or at least designing) an epoxy/granite CNC machine. First of all, let say that I have been lurking in the background for about 3 months now and that I went through the whole 200+ pages of the other thread.
Ok,... now I'm planning to create some kind of report including all the details concerning choice of linear motion, motors, software, mixture, process, concepts, drawings, blahblahblah
First part as been to do some kind of technological review of everything available. Some choices have already been made but some are in the concept zone (ex: air bearings). Been doing that for the last month almost full time.
Next part would be getting a good mixture. I checked a couple books by François de Larrard and ckelloug seems to be doing a great job. Gonna leave this part to him
I have done a couple of sketch on how to get some crazy accuraty without blowing the bank. This topic will be about showing and discussing idea on how to create that big *****.
to be continued soon...
