WELCOME

Welcome to T-Work's Knowledge Hub!

This is a platform where you will learn and up-skill yourself in learning various equipment's that are present at T-works Facility.

Here, you'll embark on a journey of continuous learning and up-skilling in mastering the intricacies of the various machines available to use at T-Works. Consider this platform your digital encyclopedia, where knowledge is not only shared but actively cultivated by each member of our community.

Our Goal is simple yet profound: to crowdsource information, fostering an environment where everyone contributes and learns simultaneously.

Do you have insights, tips, or expertise to share? We encourage you to be an active participant in our collaborative endeavor. Simply put a change request and we will update it after reviewing the source and credibility of your data and you will be able to enrich our collective knowledge base!

But we don't stop at mere text-based knowledge sharing. We believe in the power of visual learning too! That's why we invite you to upload process videos, enabling fellow members to glean insights for their future projects.

This platform is designed to be both intuitive and robust, facilitating seamless knowledge sharing and collaboration.

Together, let's create, edit, and disseminate knowledge through documentation, making our collective expertise accessible to all.

Welcome aboard, and let the learning begin!

Advanced Rapid Prototyping

A Space designed to give one a quick and easy access to multiple rapid prototyping equipment in one room. A designated space for some of the best equipment in its class, for example the Zund G3 Digital cutter and Formech Vacuum Forming Machine enables one to explore different material to build prototypes faster and efficiently. From making prototypes of furniture for a designer to making plastic mould for a baker, this space opens up opportunities for makers, hobbyists, designers etc.

The Basics

What is CNC machining? What are the different types of CNC machines? How do they work?

In this section, we answer all these questions and we compare CNC machining to other manufacturing technologies to help you find the best solution for your application.

What is CNC machining?

CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining is a subtractive manufacturing technology: parts are created by removing material from a solid block (called the blank or the workpiece) using a variety of cutting tools.

CNC machining is a digital manufacturing technology: it produces high-accuracy parts with excellent physical properties directly from a CAD file. Due to the high level of automation, CNC is price-competitive for both one-off custom parts and medium-volume productions.

The basic CNC process can be broken down into 3 steps. The engineer first designs the CAD model of the part. The machinist then turns the CAD file into a CNC program (G-code) and sets up the machine. Finally, the CNC system executes all machining operations with little supervision, removing material and creating the part.

A brief history of CNC machining

  • The earliest machined object ever discovered was a bowl found in Italy and made in 700 B.C. using a lathe.

  • Attempts to automate machining started in the 18th century. These machines were purely mechanical and powered by steam.

  • The first programmable machine was developed in the late 40’s in MIT. It used punched cards to encode each movement.

  • The proliferation of computers in the 50’s and 60’s added the “C” in CNC and radically changed the manufacturing industry.

  • Today, CNC machines are advanced robotic systems with multi-axis and multi-tooling capabilities.

Types of CNC machines

In this guide, we will focus on CNC machines that remove material using cutting tools. These are the most common and have the widest range of applications. Other CNC machines include laser cutters, plasma cutters and EDM machines.
