More than small flanges? Making a multi-operation component from aluminum with the Carvera Air.

Video Description

In this video we do a functional use case of the Makera Carvera Air desktop CNC machine. Most examples in the automotive space cut some sort of small block off plate or flange, which this machine is admittedly quite good at, but I wanted to stretch its capabilities and see if we could go from a 3 axis operation, to 4 axis turned features and then back to 3 axis to finish off the remaining features and remove the final material. Its surprisingly good given its small size so check out the end result. 0:00 – Into and machine overview 2:21 – Accurately holding material 3:45 – CAM software instead of slicers 5:50 – First operation cutting chips 8:10 – Into the 4rth axis 10:22 – 3D printed holding fixture 11:05 – Final operation cuts 12:35 – End result 13:35 – Final thoughts and takeaways Makera Carvera Air desktop CNC $100 off Voucher: CB100OFF US Site: https://www.makera.com/products/carvera-air Global Site：https://global.makera.com/products/carvera-air Saunders Machine Works tooling plate for the Carvera Air https://saundersmachineworks.com/products/makera-carvera-air-fixture-tooling-plate If you want to get started with learning how to design or fabricate your own parts with some of the methods used throughout my build series, check out HP Academy for some well-produced, high-quality motorsports focused coursework. 3D Modeling & CAD for Motorsport https://hpcdmy.co/CouchBuiltCAD Visit with the link below and use discount code COUCH75 for $75 off any of their available courses.
