any CNC capable engineers?

[Brandon Chng]

i noticed that i will learn how to do this in my aeronautical eng course. i was wondering if anyone else knows how to do this? has anyone ever made CNC machined metal parts for their own heli use?

wah, i will learn how to calculate stress parts, desgin and make them properly...sch is going to be so fun!

NB...you know you still ask...

wtf?!

Eh.. dun mind me asking..
CNC stand for wat huh??

Always walk by the CNC lab in NTU..
I guess it's something to do with precision mechanical engineering??

Sorry la.. me computer engineer.. :P

computer numeric(al) control

It's great that you'll get to play with stuff like that in your course ! sure sounds like you're in for lots of fun

maybe daddyhobby can own one for community use
lol

Owning a hobby unit is no big deal , tooling and operating one is

yeah.. i think someone here already owns one lor..

[SLee]

CNC is only good for accurate repetitive work in large numbers, eg mass production etc. For small quantity or individual work, better to use normal machining, programming the work station is just too much trouble to produce one piece!

I not into CNC lah..... I am looking for ppl doing CNC parts

If you know someone capable of doing CNC parts, do let me know

Thanks
