MIT FabAcademy Week3 Note - Computer-Controlled Cutting
This week we learn about Computer-Controlled Cutting.
CAD
123D Make and other tools takes 3D shapes and decompose them to 2D parts to assemble. Antimony is the most parametric one.
CAM
fab modules lets you read many file formats in, and talk to many different machines out.
Vinyl cutter
vinylcutter(电脑刻字机) can cut signs, pop-up cards, books, screen printing, flex, multi-layer circuits, antennas.
materials
Vinyl(乙烯基)：
Masking tape(纸胶带):
Transfer adhesive(转移胶膜):
Epoxy film(环氧树脂膜，可用于制作柔性电路):
copper
Steps
Design and save. then input in fab modules, chose "Roland vinyl (.camm)" then "cut vinyl", the setup controls would appear on the left.
Should pay attension to cut depth.
Laser cutter
Lasercutter can marking, engraving, screen printing, press-fit construction
Gik is sth like lego but made from cardboard. You can [design it](gik.png in Antimony.
different joints
Warning: Easy on fire. Need good exhaust(排气) and supervision. Remember cleaning optics.
