Milling
Within the Saxion FabLab, there is a ShapeOko milling machine. CNC milling is a labor-intensive and potentially hazardous technique.
For this reason, users can only operate these machines under the guidance of a FabLab expert. The associated costs are €80 per hour, plus machine usage €0.12 per cm2, and material costs.
If you would like to use the milling machine, please contact us at info@fablabenschede.nl so that we can explore the possibilities for a milling assignment together.
The Milling Process
In collaboration with the FabLab expert, your design will be reviewed, optimized if necessary, and prepared for milling. The machine will be operated by a FabLab staff member based on your instructions; you will not operate it yourself. Designs are first checked for ‘machinability’, considering specific design requirements such as milling diameter, milling depth, and material type.
Material
Users must provide their own material. The milling machine can process materials such as MDF, plywood, laminated plywood, foam boards, and various types of wood. If you wish to use materials other than these, we can discuss the feasibility.
Never leave the machine unattended.
| DESCRIPTION | COSTS |
|---|---|
| Startup costs, including: 1) Checking digital file for millability; 2) Milling files created in V-Carve or Partworks3D; 3) Material clamping; 4) Determining and warming up the milling machine 0-point. | Costs on request* |
| PCB milling (LPKF, single or dual sided) | € 0.12 per cm2 |
