Our CNC routers have a functional bed size of 4 feet by 8 feet. Height limitations are more complicated and may vary depending upon project dimensions, tool choice, and toolpath design. The combined height of the material and cutting tool cannot exceed 8.75 inches [see diagram A]. If your material is too tall, the cutting
In comparison to weaving, weft-knitting machines construct textiles by interconnecting loops of yarn in a horizontal fashion. The machine gauge indicates a layout of 14 needles per inch, giving the ability to produce textiles at a very fine level of resolution. The v-bed layout of two parallel needle beds enables the knitting of multiple interconnected
The 6-axis robots are industrial machines capable of highly flexible production applications and tool integration. Some work cells are supplemented with additional rotary and linear external axes which give the robots more flexible, reconfigurable, motion control platforms. The tools available to the robotic fabrication processes include grippers, filament and pellet based extruders, hot wire cutters,
The 5-Axis router expands the FABLab’s capacity to perform subtractive fabrication of large volumetric parts. The machine also enables complex joinery of parts by allowing undercuts and compound miter cuts. Dimensional Limitations The 5-Axis CNC router has a bed size of 5 feet by 8 feet. These XY dimensions are reduced when using 3+1 and
At Taubman College we currently have four ABS 3D printers available to students. The necessary file can be produced from a variety of different 3D modeling software, such as Rhino, 3DS Max, Maya, and Fusion360. Regardless of what software one is using, the objects must be “watertight,” meaning no open edges. Dimensional Limitations The College
The FABLab has been a continued leader among academic institutions around the world utilizing robotic automation to perform both subtractive and additive manufacturing processes. Currently, the FABLab houses six industrial robots, organized into three cooperative work cells, providing the ability to work at a wide range of material scales. These work cells can be reconfigured
