It's funny when I see people encounter CNC's for the first time. They're like kids in a candy shop. So confused, so bewildered, so amazed. Yup, I definitely couldn't see myself doing anything else.

Yea I know what you mean! I'm only running 3 axis now, but still, people are amazed regardless! Its funny how simple it really is...

Wait, looking at the picture, that IS only 3 axis isnt it? Cant see where it would pivot for the extra axis'

[Cavi Mike]

Yeah just a 3 axis.

Intresting, never thought youd be able to accomplish it with 3... is any video of it in action?

There's a few clips of the machine in action around the four minute mark.

You actually don't need or even want a 4th axis for something like this. When you're creating molds, you have to remember that the part needs to slide off when it's done. If you created some type of pocket by rotating it on the machine, the part will become stuck on the mold.

I didnt even consider that, i've made plenty of vacu-form molds, nothing for automotive. Guess i should have actually thought of it before asking, haha.
