1. Major Functions and Characteristics Numerically controlled (NC) machine tools have drastically advanced metalworking since their emergence in the 1950s. Operations previously performed by hand could now be automated with NC machine tools. Not long after their emergence, NC machine tools began to be embedded with computers, a technical evolution that led to the adoption… Continue reading Introduction into Machining. – NC Lathes

Introduction to machining- What is cutting?
Cutting processes work by causing fracture of the material that is processed. Usually, the portion that is fractured away is in small sized pieces, called chips 1. An Introduction to Machine Tools Machining refers to using machines to process materials according to the specifications based on the design drawings. Machine tools are the pieces of… Continue reading Introduction to machining- What is cutting?
Introduction to Machining – Cutting Types- Milling and Lathe
Cutting is a technique where the operator moves a material (workpiece) such as metal and the tool in relation to each other in order to shape the workpiece into the desired form through shaving, drilling, etc. Cutting can be broadly divided into two methods: rolling, where the workpiece is restrained while the tools turn, and… Continue reading Introduction to Machining – Cutting Types- Milling and Lathe
3D printing low-run injection molds
This article discusses the use of 3D printing to print molds for low run injection molding. Design considerations, materials, molds configurations and a comparative case study are all included Introduction Injection molding is the most common method for mass producing plastic parts.

EXTRUDING OPERATION IN FUSION360
Extruding in Fusion 360 is a fundamental operation that involves extending a 2D sketch into the third dimension to create a 3D object. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to extrude in Fusion 360: Extruding a Sketch: Create a Sketch: Start by creating a 2D sketch on the desired plane. Go to the “Sketch” menu,… Continue reading EXTRUDING OPERATION IN FUSION360
PCB Trace Width Calculator
A trace width calculator is a tool used to calculate the width of a trace on a printed circuit board (PCB). A trace is a conductive path on a PCB that carries electrical signals between components. The width of a trace on a PCB is an important parameter that affects the resistance and current-carrying capacity… Continue reading PCB Trace Width Calculator
COMPARISON BETWEEN BLUETOOTH AND WIFI
Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are both wireless communication technologies, but they serve different purposes and have distinct characteristics. Here’s a comparison between Bluetooth and Wi-Fi based on various factors: Range: Bluetooth: Typically has a shorter range, typically up to 10 meters (Bluetooth Classic) or 100 meters (Bluetooth Low Energy). Suitable for short-range wireless communication between devices… Continue reading COMPARISON BETWEEN BLUETOOTH AND WIFI

SURFACING IN FUSION 360
In Fusion 360, surfacing refers to the creation of complex, freeform 3D shapes that may not be easily achievable with traditional solid modeling techniques. Surfaces are often used in industrial design, automotive design, and other fields where aesthetic and ergonomic considerations are important. Here’s a brief overview of surfacing in Fusion 360: Creating Surfaces: Sketch:… Continue reading SURFACING IN FUSION 360
Assigning Footprints to PCB Components: Integrating Form with Function
Assigning footprints to components is a crucial stage in the PCB design process, where the abstract schematic transforms into a tangible and manufacturable layout. The term “footprint” refers to the physical layout or pattern of a component on the PCB, encompassing the placement of pads, holes, and other features necessary for soldering and electrical connections.… Continue reading Assigning Footprints to PCB Components: Integrating Form with Function
