High Speed 4 Axis Machining - Hand

[buhlandy]

any way i could get the g-code for this so i could run it for a display piece at school? if so the email is  andybuhl@yahoo.com

[garethkielty]

...does your boss know your using his machine to make hands xD

[baseofoperations]

What the hell? Who dislikes this video? Innovations in manufacturing are amazing, especially this stuff with all the math involved. Somebody please comment and tell me why they disliked this.

[cearcris]

Agradeceria me orientaran donde puedo consefuir esta maquina..... gracias.

Guide me where I can appreciate this machine ..... consefuir Thank you.

[girlimmortal]

cnc and cam are arts!!!

[girlimmortal]

awesome!!!



[girlimmortal]

awesome!!!

[Hollrobb]

When i was a teen i could get way more then 24,000 RPM out of my hand every so often. I'm old and married now so things have slowed way down, hahaha.

[TheXYZMonster]

How long did it take?

[HCCAfan]

would love to see your mcx file on this. i have x3 at work, and x5 at home, to use on the hurco vmx42 w/rotary 4th axis. I have the 3d dxf of a hand similar to this, but programming it would be mind boggling for me the first time. the mcx file would show me how you done it and help me learn more about 3d rotary sculpting...... thanks for the vid!



[buzzclick500]

For a few dollars more, you can get one with wrinkles, veins and hair. ;])

[manword1]

how much that mech. cost my friend?

and nice tho^^

[charlesprev]

Why didn't you try any 4axis rotating moves simultaneously with the cutting? Just curious if there was a reason, or if you just work out of each tool plane at a time

[cielonauta]

Is the Master Hand OMG 0.o

[loikjuyhtg]

can you make a hand for me to give the world #1 sign ? I would love that

[zzygoat]

Ah I see you're making "The Stranger". Nice.

[newportcycling]

Good Morning; what G-code software was used...?or would you recommend for 4-axis work? Nice post...

"no prints can come from fingers if machines become our hands" -Jack Johnson

[ninja6kid]

looks more like a rubber glove than a hand

[RobbieStott]

I wonder how you make the complex shape of the hand on the computer, can anyone enlighten me?

[JesseJamesAXnXeX]

i think you just did. lol

[uhicantremember]

for some reason i was half expect to see some pervert saying things like "i coud jack off with that hands or something" lols D:

[getmeoutofiraq05]

i dont get it what is the end product supposed to look like....is it a odd shaped octopus? or maybe a sea monster?

[quadcatfly]

high speed? lol. that is about 60 IPM. if you want real high speed take a look at mori !!!

[bestamerica]

'

what material molding,,,

plastic or glass or clay or wood or balsa

[malako1987]

deve ter levado um seculo para fazer uma mao desas bem mais facil tirar um molde ou fazer na mao por um bom escultor...

[cjellwood]

might smooth out my wrinkles

[DanFrederiksen]

handy work : )

[anibioman]

thats really cool

[SPUNKKK]

When running a program like this for the first time. Do you stay with the machine all the time and hope it doesnt crash? Given the fact that it prolly takes XX-hours to make the piece - or do you just go home and wait?

Ive never tryed using a computer to do the programming for me, everything I run for the first time is on singleblock :) But i guess that could take a while with this particular piece :)

[jeppoification]

@SPUNKKK normally you build confidence in the simulation software, i used to be scared but you get an eye for what might go wrong...still its best to hang around drinking coffee smoking and planning your home life down to the littlest details

[VIBRAFREE]

@SPUNKKK

Any surface machining can easily take hours, you got to be able to walk away. I usually watch first few moves, that will catch any setup errors, the rest has to depend on the reliability of your CAM and POST.

[HeadShot360IN]

@VIBRAFREE and for hobby-ist's sake, you'd want to come back everyonce in a while to make sure your stepper motors aren't fried from it trying to move out of the cutting area... but i guess most people use sensors (switches) that stop the machine if it tries to go out of bounds.

[1cactus01]

I have wondeing how i can get a cock extenion, i can get this crew to make a slip on one for me. LOL

[rjimene1]

@1cactus01

i volunteer to push it into your behind

[djambroz]

my wife wants to know if it can do her nails..

[bbenum2010]

incroyable il y a a peine 10 ans cela nous ne pouvions pas réaliser de telle chose

[theyampacurse]

how did you break up the surfaces of the cad when repositioning to different work planes?

[hicksonn]

LOVE IT!!

[zomgbbqwth]

nice hand... :D

very slow and repeatitive work but the end product is very nice huh~

slow n steady makes a nice hand...

[racepicman]

hey i teach CNC at a CC this is a cool program is it from a 3d scanner either way its cool if you can send me the g-code for it it would be a great example project in class

[dirk11050563]

Hello, im doing CNC and CAD/CAM for some time now...

are you sure about your request ?... This is a typical CAM Job... the G-Code will be to complex to be programmed without using a CAM-System... so in my opinion it is not a good example for writing some G-Code... But it is of course an impressive opportunity to show your students what a powerful CAM-System like MasterCAM achieves.

Greets Dirk

[racepicman]

@dirk11050563 i try to find odd projects to show 4th and 5th axis where as they will only think in 3 axis for there projects i want for them to see different ways of thinking and engineering

[HarleyFXS]

Nice job! Now, can you make me a complete woman?

[immanuelmlives]

@HarleyFXS they make operations for those these days.

[ottomobille]

@HarleyFXS thats just sad

[Marcelmx3]

Great job,

Are you willing to share the mcx file?

I really want to learn how to work on 4 axis in mastercam...

[tiziplapla]

great job from the guys who designed it !

[BarefootBASE]

The human hand is still the greatest tool on earth .

[damaunu]

Nice Work.....

[Automatalife]

The guy who designed this, I'd like to shake that mans hand.

[565Customz]

@Automatalife why? they scanned something with a 3d scanner, and use software to plot the g code...whats so special about that?

[Dorothyinstead]

That looks quite handy.

[UrbanArtifact]

I don't know contours too well on MasterCAM. Can anyone give me a........ hand?

[crazybatz]

That's really cool, I wish I could do something like that

[tony4ester]

Nice job!

Hey, Any chance I could get that .igs file?

[gtdude75]

sweet but not as kool as the matsura machining an engen block from solid

[csheadtrip]

long hand job.

[grovest26]

what material is that

[VIBRAFREE]

It is Ren-shape borad, mostly for modeling and prototyping.

[VirtRampage]

i feel sorry for whoever hast to clean that machine up

[realjoefriday]

No way, dude.  I'm sure someone will give him a hand.

[Sutterz10]

imagin scrapping tht job haha

[r0cd0x]

i bet that finishing cut took forever!

[hienrambo]

Milling or Lathe CNC ?

[Stasiya]

that would be milling, because the workpiece is not spinning. also, the endmill being used is a telltale sign :)

[Stasiya]

well, i take back half of what i said, the workpiece is spinning, but that is simply another axis of the machine, that's how they can call it 5-axis. i sit corrected, i am sorry.

it IS a mill, though

[Luvanicebum]

Actually, it's still only a 4 axis mill.

X,Y, Z and the rotation of C

The head nor the bed tilts.

[puort]

Actually, it's not even full 4 axis control, although it has 4 axes which are capable of being controlled

A 4 axis mill can continuously reposition (interpolate) in 4 axes simultaneously

Some people * would call this a 3+1 axis mill, as it appears to reposition in the 4th axis by "borrowing" one of the 3 axis controllers when they are not otherwise being used

*including the original poster of this vid

[Konicava]

The nature is not that wise.

[yethdear]

Pretty cool! I teach machining. Would you consider sending us the CAD model of that hand so my students can try their HAND at programming this? Thanks

[blueGoa]

Die haben jetzt nicht ernsthaft ne Hand aus nem Block gefräst..? O_O Das ist ja sowas von obergeil! Wer hat das Programm geschrieben?

[Schmuhfix]

Das ist ein CAM Programm, sowas schreibt man nicht von Hand...

[AntalopeAUT]

der pc mit hilfe des cad/cam programms und nem guten prosprozessor^^

und aus was sont denn nem block^^

[comunicandomesiempre]

que bueno esta este video claro el material y la maquina se presta para esos trabajos

[JustWonderingHowToDo]

What machine was this made on and what software was used?

[Fr4nklin]

Cool video.

[elemci]

It really honors the "Vibra-free" brand name. Tool looks so stable to be spinning at 24k. Cool mill!

[myekee]

Is that Jack SParrow shand for Pirates of the Carribean at Disneyland?

[Samcor8871]

Of what material is the hand made of?

[shizosen]

I think its some kind of Ureol

[GlobalMessenger]

Wierd, seeing a hand in the mill, like that.

Thats the exact situation I try to avoid.

Cool video.

[severrnijKGU]

@GlobalMessenger LOL

[richkleyn]

Can you send me an iges, step or x_t cad file of this hand? I'd like to try and cut it as well....
