Development and Design of a Machine Using Standard Aluminium Profiles
Development and Design of a Machine Using Standard Aluminium Profiles

Summary/Abstract: The goal of this research is development, design and manufacturing of CNC milling machine prototype using standard aluminium profiles. Machine is a three axis’s machine and it is developed primarily for education in the field of wood machining. It can be used also for machining of light metal parts. Main initial goal of the machine development was the low cost for its manufacturing. To achieve this goal, rapid prototyping technology was used to manufacture most of the machine parts. In addition, a lot of standard parts are used. The detail methodology for machine development, design and manufacturing are shown in this paper. Design process includes development of CAD models, calculation of all necessary critical parts, selections of materials and development of machine subassemblies and assemblies.
