Skill Builder: 4-Axis and 3D Modeling

Written By Maya Williams

Week 10 Skill Builder:

This week I am hoping back on to Vectorworks to make a 3D piece to mill on the 4-axis machine.

Supply List:

3D Modeling

  • Vectoworks

  • Thumbdrive

    4-Axis

  • CAD Model

  • Roland Viewer

  • Material

Process:

In thinking about what I wanted to make on the 4-axis a cylinder was my starting point. I thought it would be interesting to make a spiral since the 4-axis permits that kind of motion, so that’s where this shape came from. I have office hours booked with Phil, the fabrication resident, for Friday morning to go over the 4-axis since I wasn’t able to attend class in person last week. I will update my documentation after this session.
