#CADCAM

Students from the Master Non Linear Narrative kicked off the new year with a Tech Week workshop in January, exploring Unreal Engine alongside 3D scanning, modelling and printing methods, VFX and CAD/CAM. The workshop was led by Laura O’Neill with Matthew Ferguson and introduced students to game design software and the principles of non-linear storytelling. The main challenge of the duo’s “Twisted Timeline” brief centered around resilience of non-human life forms and the question “What does life look like before humanity or after it has drastically scaled back its influence?”

Laura O'Neill is a Polyphonic Design Engineer currently specialising in XR, game design, animation, haptics, robotics, and additive manufacturing. Her work has been shown at the Liverpool Biennial, ICA London, CCD Mexico and Amsterdam Museum. She was commissioned to create a WWII memorial for Gemeente Almere and a public sculpture for Rechtbank Amsterdam.

Matthew Ferguson is an Architectural Engineer at Octatube and an instructor in robotic fabrication at TU Eindhoven. His work spans art making and professional projects, exploring the relationship between design and fabrication. Matthew is passionate about the interplay of tools and materials, working with both traditional craft and advanced digital processes.

First issue: my connecting tabs were too thin vs the cut dept so are cut through on at least one of the outer edges, note to self: account for cut-through and bulk tabs out a bit next time if this time fails.

Outer has cut fine, inner now will be the tricky one...

Bunged a CCTV unit in next to it so I can see whars going on from the 19°C warmth of the study!

Its #CNCCam (as opposed to #CADCAM ? 🤣)

CAD/CAM PLANNING OF A TWO-PIECE ROOT ANALOG CERAMIC DENTAL IMPLANT WITH ROOT EXTENSION

This video shows the design of a root extension for an anatomical ceramic immediate implant

Because of a root tip resection, the future implant bed is first extended with a drilling template so that a fully anatomical ceramic immediate implant with root extension can then be inserted without any further surgical procedures (no flaps, no bone augmentation).

Been having a pain of a time trying to get etching/pocketing and vcarving to work for me on Linux.

Downloaded the free trial of Vectric VCarve and it was a doddle to do what I wanted... but then I need to pay for it to get the actual gcode out. (Which is fair enough if course, but that's £330 at least. It's not a bad price for the software IMO, but it's also ... £330...)

Guess I'll go back to banging my head against the OSS options.

Nice!

The cut-out edge is close enough to "finish" quality for my needs. Huge difference to the first attempt with a normal 2-flute upcut bit running 200mm/s and 12000rpm: toot.ale.gd/@yvan/112430779482

The engraving on this was just the closest SVG I had to hand and it needs some cleaning up really.

#chipout achieved!

Some tweaks, but also a new single flute o-cut type spiral upcut bit. No melted plastic, will see it properly once the engraving run is done.

This is a 2mm bit, running 9000rpm, and 300mm/s travel. Cutting 1mm extruded acrylic in 0.2mm passes.

My first ever #CNCrouter thing! The engraving part worked pretty well, I'd just say I could refine the vectors a tad. This was done with a little V bit.

The cutting out of the disc of acrylic was a disaster though. It bunched up on the bit, and ended up "rubbing" through the plastic making a sort of rough frosted cut. This was done with an upcut endmill bit.

So something to work out there... slower speed? Different sort of bit? Deeper cuts each pass?
