askjerry i suppose this one is not programmed without a CAD program..

GreenFlu TheWicked A CAD program is a drawing/design program (Computer Aided Design), once the design is made, they use a CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing) program. I know this... as stated in my post, I have a 4-axis machine and I use Aspire as my CAM software. When you add a 5th axis, the complexity goes up an order of magnitude. I am curious HOW they do the tool paths with the additional two axis. In my 3-Axis mode, I select the shape, identify the bit, and set the feed rate... it calculates the path. With a 5-axis, you must also specify the sweep, angular deviation, and machine sequence... THAT is what I want to know how to do. How to set up the complex multi-axis functions.

We use a program called Auto-CAD. Upload the drawing of the part you want to make to the computer, and it produces the machining program for you to upload to you machine (Mazak in our case). (I hope this is what you meant with your question)

askjerry exaaactly^^ my bad

richalsop Sort of... for example in Aspire, I can select a contour and tell it a bit diameter and feed rate, and it will make the required paths. But this is only in an X/Y/Z space... if I want to use an A-Axis, i set the job up as a cylinder and proceed accordingly. For a 5-Axis, multiple moves are required to get an undercut as in a turbine blade. I would like to see a video on how you start with the DWG/DXF/STL file, and convert it step-by-step into the required G-Code. I really don't suppose that you click on an object that complex and it automatically calculates the entire toolpath... if it does, then it is some amazing software.

You can get one for bout 800.000€ But it wont be the best CNC... Better ones cost over 5.000.000€ :D

Ok ... MOM can i Get any Money ? xD

SocialGameTv :D

the Grob G750 "only" costs 750k€ and its a good machine.

Also soweit ich weiß werden Kurbelwellen üblicherweise gedreht. ;) Und diese sind ja genau wie das Pleuel von der Geometrie her einfacher als ein Impeller.

1. You cannot make these with 3D printing. 2. The material was cut away, not thrown away.

LHFX If companies are 3D printing guns that work, rocket engines, they can print a propeller. Metal Powder can be reused without having to go to a foundry to recycle it. Those shavings aren't good for much other than perhaps shrapnel in a pipe bomb. /watch?v=u7ZYKMBDm4M

KarasCyborg After reading your comment I went out and found info on direct metal laser sintering. Apparently it is possible... my bad.

While you can, you must remember that metal isn't terribly expensive compared to machine time - especially the time on that DMLS machine (likely north of $300k)

***** I agree with the actual process for now....but did you consider the time it takes to get specialized cutting bits shipped to you or the time it takes to get the appropriate solid material to get to you? Versus just stocking up on powder and being able to replicate anything? For one-offs I think 3D printing would be much faster, then just make a mold and cast the part for faster turn around times.

it is a freakin robot ;)

just a demo, how would we see it if it was flooded

ah

Direkttransfer aus CAD. Von Hand kannste Simultanfräsen knicken.

Ja das weiß ich jetzt auch. Ich bin gerade in der Ausbildung zum Zerspaner. Jetzt 2. Lehrjahr. ;)

Alles mit CAD/CAM

+Royal Marine This is steel...

no it's not. that is alloy,I'm Rolls Royce Aerospace engineer, i think i know what steel looks like.

Royal Marine Sure...

i'm sure , i'm sure

Royal Marine Yeah sure... So what alloy is it ?

This is not aluminium but steel. Sorry, but this is the real world.

^ this guy thinks that everything shinny is aluminium, sorry but no, steel can as shinny as aluminium.

Sorry dude, but you may want to pay more attention to the difference between most common metals and their properties, the material being machined in this video clip is clearly steel. Just saying. But you are right though, many people do show Ali being cut fast and bragging about how their machine can cut steel so fast.

Tio Nisla для масштаба страны и ресурсового богатства это уныло всё. Слишком уныло. Половина из сделаного не пройдет норм контроль качества. А вахтёры ничего из этого не делают. Тупой шовинизм. Я родом из России, на всякий случай. Ладно, вахтер, иди импеллер руками точи ахахаха

Hydrogen Sh Таким людям как вы всё вокруг уныло и всё пропало. А между тем, комментарий был чисто стёб. Либерастию в правительстве завалить и всё у нас будет в разы.

Tio Nisla сразу бы так))
