DIY STANDALONE 3-IN-1 PCB CNC MACHINE

Abstract

CNC router (Computer Numerical Control router) is a kind of machine that is used for cutting wood, metal or stone. CNC is computer-controlled and uses CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) software that makes CAD files into its own programming language. Manufacturing using CNC machines are extended to carvings, decors, panels, frames, moldings and so on. The study is an innovation of the CNC PCB machine that aims to help students of Baliuag University to effectively use PCBs in projects and other course required laboratory works. The researchers recycled scraps of wood and aluminum and other electronic parts that can still be used. They considered installing dedicated computer with monitor for interaction. Schematic diagrams which are usually used by the students in laboratories, projects and activities required of the courses were sourced from faculty of the ECE Department of CEDE. The said schematic diagrams were predesigned into built-in computer readily for use.
