  • at 4:47 its really scary how close the head passes near the work surface

  • @jeetendrag10acc2 It is more so when you are running it !  Art

  • hello a4near,

    i suppose a tool changer's cost effectiveness is questionnable,since each pass takes hours?

    best regards,

    jeeten

  • @jeetendrag10acc2  We have a really nice changer. we use it most of the time, but you are right, we run for hours and spend a minute changing tools. Art

  • Again some nice work, this time on Poseidon - which is just a bit bigger than ares :-)

    This looks like foam with a laminating paste (like made by Ebalta). Is this part of a boat? It looks like the mold for part of the deck of a small yacht and I've seen some other things resembling boats on the background of some of your videos.

    I really like to add (a much smaller) 5-axis machine to my production line. Your videos are very nice to see some of the advantages.

    Thanks, Rob

  • The heads are the same, but Ares is 6'x16'x3' and Poseidon is 27'x96'x13'. We create alot of molds for yachts and planes. Even parts for spacecraft. 5-axis is alot of fun once you fully understand it.

see all

  • Very nice machine. I program and operate a SCM Chronos Routech. Its pretty big, but no where near as big as this. 5 axis is very cool indeed. We've just started to use tooling paste for our molds. Keep up the good work :D

  • makes my shopbot look microscopic, I think you have 83x more cutting area not to mention that is almost 4x the square footage of my shop.

  • Way over a million with the building and foundation.I don't know for sure. Glad I didn't have to pay for it, or the power bill! I do know the head is around 30,000 dollars.

  • What does a large machine like this one cost?
