THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CNC AND OUR REAL WORLD

Rapid developments and sudden upgrades in the CNC sector left many people amazed due to its versatility. Many of think tanks are still pondering over the need of CNC programmers in future. As things are getting more and more automated, machines are getting artificially intelligent, adaptive and close looped machining is what we are surrounded by.

 It may not be wrong to deduce a fact that there will be a very less need of human controllers in future to manipulate these machines that are no less genius. But now CNC machines are highly programmer oriented and strongly depends on the operator but there will surely be some CNC advancements that will take this technology to a whole new level.

A GLANCE TO THE FUTURE

The quick pace technological advancement made it difficult to figure that how the future of CNC will look like. But for now, CNC manufacturing has evolved to something that has totally influenced the manufacturing tactics to whole new and a positive level. This field is also regarded as additive manufacturing due to its characteristic of working on layers to create numerous objects. There is no doubt that there are numerous benefits that driving people more and more towards this technology, as we discussed in one of our blog.

A STEP TO THE INFORMATION AGE

There are not many examples that will express the possibility of changing CNC machining with the digital age of information and technology. However, it is the customization of the manufacturing industries that will face biggest effects caused by CNC machining nearly in the future. The mainstream computers were so large to be fit in a room and similarly the printing presses were warehouse size large. But this sizing evolved over time and printers got automated by small computing devices.

ENGINEERING BEHIND 3D PRINTING

It has been couple of years the curiosity and eager behind the mechanism for 3D printing considerably rose. The working and principle involved with a 3D printing is not very complex or hectic. 

There two most commonly used plastic preferred by 3D printing owner, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and polyactic acid (PLA). While some of the modern printers requires only one of the kind. 

These plastic are available in the form of filaments with standard width that is about 1.75 mm. ABS is most commonly used for making legos is a chemical compound based plastic that is operated at relatively higher temperature. While PLA is extracted from natural resources like sugarcane and corn it has a much glossy texture with high rigidity than ABS. Besides being as a key component in 3D printing it is also used to manufacture compostable packaging. 

Filament of plastic is attached to 3D printer could be highly costly. As 3D printing is getting more popular and people are inclination more and more towards it the prices are getting reduced accordingly.  A clever way to reduce the cost is to adopt the usage of a filament extruder. A filament is inserted in a 3D printer’s printing head just like a cartridge.

3D Printing Helps Make a WheelChair

Often called as additive manufacturing, 3D printing is replacing our conventional ways of manufacturing things and things are built in layers using the digital 3D models. Many kinds of products and materials can be made today with 3D printed models and its applications are still growing. Many analysts predict that in decades to come, it will radically transform our designing and production processes.
Many people have seized the opportunity and designed various products that were made completely according to their specifications and designs. Just recently London-based design firm Layer its new prototype of wheelchair was completely designed using 3D printer. This wheelchair was result of months of research where the designing team questioned various patients and doctors to design the wheelchair that would be comfortably used by them. It was custom design for each patient using their own measurements which means that this wheelchair was just designed for them.
According to Benjamin Hubert, founder of the company Layer, the company is planning to take the plan further and is designing mobile app which will allow users to further customize their wheelchair by choosing colors and adding accessories to their wheelchairs. This wheelchair can be ordered via app and can be delivered within two weeks after manufacturing.
