Here are some photos from a recent design and build of a custom CNC machining center.......

Wow, that is impressive!

[Ender5r]

That is no amateur build: that's a full on industrial machine. What a project!

[Vassili Finellis]

Thank you guys!

I see from the video that the machine is already in production. Was that a torso being carved out of foam? Is it to be a form for fitting an ortotic?

Exactly! It's a special polyurethane foam as hard as plastic for orthotic spine braces! Now i'm into a design process for a 5 axis CNC milling center for machining up to non ferrous metals.......

Which, of course, begs the question, what are you using to get the patient's torso form in the 1st place?

A 3D laser scanner....

You have your own laser scanner... neat

I'm certainly impressed. I wish I lived somewhere where I could think about running a CNC machine. I have always wanted to do bas relief doors.

I own 3 at the moment!

The best sound ever when it mills hard metals!

How many people do you have working for you?

..... just me, myself and i!

That was you overseeing the milling machine?
