SolidWorks CNC Design

So over the last few weeks, I have decided to design and build a CNC for future projects and this is the design I have come up with.

I have used a design I don’t see too often within the DIY CNC builders and this is where the x-axis is raised to the y reducing the height of the y-axis.

originally was going to do the build out of steel but decided aluminium extrusion would be an easier material to work with.

This I a view of an unfinished and z-axis.

Design to be Completed in the not too far future.

Future part to Design in SolidWorks.

So what’s left to design on the CNC mainly the z-axis is left to complete that includes the spindle motor too! complete the y-axis this is not far from being complete and the CNC bed again not far from completion.
