Summary of Arduino based Milling Machine
This project is a functional Arduino-based milling machine constructed using FischerTechnik building blocks, developed by four Mechanical Engineering students at Delft University of Technology for their Mechatronics class. The team utilized standard components to integrate electronics with the structural framework, demonstrating a practical application of their coursework in creating automated machinery from modular parts.
Parts used in the Arduino based Milling Machine:
- Arduino
- FischerTechnik Building Blocks
- Vacuum Cleaner
This is a working model of an Arduino based Milling Machine created using FischerTechnik. For those of you who are unaware of FischerTechnik, it is similar to the LEGOTM Building Blocks.
A group of four Mechanical Engineering students at the Delft University of Technology (Netherlands) created this project as part of their Mechatronics class in their Second year of Bachelor of Sciences (B.Sc.) Program.
We had a little chat with Laurens. Here is the excerpt:
When did you first hear about Arduino, and when did you first start using it?
How did you end up making a Milling Machine/ 3D Printer for your project?
Here is a video showing the working of this machine. [And the Vacuum Cleaner Laurens is talking about]:
