In this assignment, I practice the procedure and technique using a CNC machine to create my own piece.

First, I downloaded the icon of a squirrel that I wanted to cut out online.

Then, I used the software to create a .nc file, which will let the CNC machine cut the wood in a certain path to create my figure.

The piece looked like this after a rough post-process.

Then, I sanded it with different types of sandpaper and oiled the pieces, but I forgot to take a picture. But the finished pieces were placed on the 210 table.

Cost:

Material: 2* $2.5 = $5

Labor: 1hr * $10/hr = $ 10

Overall: $15
