Engineering Capstone Project
Project -'Productivity Enhancement of CNC Machine with Multi-Functional approach Using Arduino Microcontroller'
In final year engineering project we developed a working 3-axis drilling machine operable by a laptop, which was coded using G-Codes with the help of Arduino microcontroller. The utilization of this machine is doubled as a 3-D printer by replacing the drill bit with a Nozzle and extruder to produce shapes by printing successive layers on top of one another using additive manufacturing techniques.
