WHAT IS A 3 AXIS OPERATION?

A 3 axis operation is any operation that will use the X, Y and Z axis of the machine. Unlike 2 axis operation, where RhinoCAM will read the path of the curve, in a 3 axis operation RhinoCAM will read what is "inside" the curve (or bounding box. This means that you MUST have your 3D model in the template! If you don't have your 3D model there then there won't be anything to read inside the bounding box.

TOOLS:

There are 2 types of tools and which one you select will depend on the shape or your model. 

REMEMBER THE HAZARDS + CONTROLS!

There are three main hazards you need to beware of as a user of the CNC machines in the Lab:
