LAngmuir Plasma Cnc

AutoCAD desgin

The initial design for the cut was made in AutoCAD making sure I kept the metal parts as one whole shape and made sure that the air parts would cut out properly

Toolpath

The design was then moved over to fusion 360 where I created the toolpath for the plasma cutter to follow and downloaded as G-code

I then loaded up the G-code into the computer controlling the plasma cutter and begin to cut out the design into steel

attempting to remove Slag with chisel

Before

After

After the cut was finished there was a lot of slag left around the edges of the cut out design so I attempted to chisel it off, This had varying success and did cause some of the thin metal bits to deform.

final product

After letting the piece go through some natural rusting I ended up with a product that I'm happy with and achieved my goal of creating a sign for a mining company that has since been abandoned.
