Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machining is a manufacturing process in which pre-programmed computer software dictates the movement of factory tools and machinery. The process can be used to control a range of complex machinery, from grinders and lathes to mills and CNC routers. With CNC machining, three-dimensional cutting tasks can be accomplished in a single set of prompts.

Created a pentagon box using beginner knowledge of Shark CNC and VCarve-Pro as well as forming knowledge of sanding techniques and cutting to finish box. This box was created using a 0.25 end mill drill bit.

Sanding and finishing touches to complete the box and make sure it fits well into each other

I chose to create a circular box using the Shark CNC machine and display my knowledge of how to use VCarve-Pro. Used a 0.25 end mill drill bit overlapping to smooth most surfaces ahead of time and create a snug fitting box.
