Langmuir Systems (CNC Plasma Machine)

Plasma CNC

A “CNC plasma” system is a machine that carries a plasma torch, and can move that torch in a path directed by a computer. The term “CNC” refers to “Computer Numerical Control”, which means that a computer is used to direct the machines motion based on numerical codes in a program.

Designing Phase in AutoCAD

This was my first initial design I was going to put a sword then decided that it would take up too much space

To make a cut I would have had to make an outline of the lettering so all the green is what will be cut.

This is where I'm taking away all the unnecessary lines that need to betaken away so it can cut full pieces out

Process For the actual Carve

Fusion 360

This took the AutoCAD drawing and prepared it for the cuts. I had to make all the tool paths so the Plasma cutter would cut it the right way. All the red arrows show the direction for each cut .

FireControl

This took the drawing from Fusion 360 and told the Langmuir Plasma CNC machine what to cut. This program is what controlled the machine.

This is what the finished products looked like. After it was cut out I angle grinded the shield that way it was shiny
