As part of unit 17 I will be making a working fibre optic cable that will be easy to reproduce if a replacement was needed, I will be using both additive and subtractive manufacturing to make the parts of the product using our Dremel3d40 3D printer (additive manufacturing) and Boxford CNC Lathe (subtractive manufacturing). Additive manufacturing techniques will be used to make the main casing that holds the components in place, and subtractive manufacturing techniques will be used to make the brass insert for the centre of the fibre optic cable connector. By using these manufacturing techniques I can to produce an eco-friendly, cost-efficient product by minimising waste and using PLA when 3D printing which is recycled plastic when making the different parts of the product.
