• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

Thanks for accepting me into the group.

I'm an engineering technician who does a lot of machining and 3d printing at work for prototyping, and now have a garage that's big enough to set up a workshop.

It will take a while to find the right section, but help on buying my first machines , both mill and lathe would be appreciated.

If anyone needs helping on building or working on 3d printers, I would be happy to lend a hand....I've built 8 so far and run one at work.

welcome

When prototyping machining do you prefer using manual or cnc gear? Do you end up making things over and over with small revisions? What do people pay? Is it for companies or individuals?
 
I am using manual gear at the time, and I actually enjoy it quite a bit.!! Would love for the company to get a small CNC center.

Right now, because I do all of the modelling, analysis, and interference detection on SOLIDWORKS, I am limited to making parts after I have gotten a design approved by the lead engineer/project manager.

Because I work within a company....it's just my regular paycheck at the time....no extra pay, but some nice benefits for having access to the machines and leftover materials on occasion.
