    Computer aided manufacturing-cnc router for wood working
    (UMT.Lahore, 2014) USAMA SHAFQAT MINHAS; MUHAMMAD ABRAR; MOHIB BIN JABBAR
    Computer Aided Manufacturing CNC-Router for wood working is the kind of CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machine that is capable of drilling the holes, etching and making different designs on wood. The machine is built on the base of cartesian coordinates system which has three principal axes (X, Y and Z) that are at right angles to each other. So for this purpose we have x-y-z axis attached with stepper motors to move the axis in required position and the wood or plastic sheet is mounted on this bed. A drill machine is attached with the stepper motor to move up and down (Z-direction). The project is divided into three parts, Hardware, Electrical and Software. The machine is three axes and has the capability of moving in the 3D domain. It can be used in wood working industries to perform various operations like routing (similar to milling) and drilling. The most important role of this machine would be in helping Pakistan shift from a capitalist consumerist mode of economy to the KNOWLEDGE BASED RESOURCE ECONOMY (KBRE) as if this machine is installed in homes then people will be able to make beads design on garments and also produce plastic items they need and also design electrical circuits on PCB. This machine will in effect allow a full transition into a closed loop production economy.
