Overview
The CNC Torch Table is a table capable of cutting 2D shapes out of steel. It is a valuable tool for replication because of this capability. Many parts that make up the 50 GVCS Tools can be cut on the CNC Torch Table.
The CNC Torch Table provides a quicker solution for cutting sheet metal, especially into intricate patterns that are difficult to cut by hand.
The 2nd prototype is currently being designed and prototyping will take place in June 2012.Chris DeAngelis 03:41, 8 June 2012 (CEST)
Status
CNC Torch Table I
Prototyped and Tested in experimental production runs.
Identified software toolchain as a performance bottleneck.
CNC Torch Table II
Table frame design in progress:

Prototyping scheduled for June 2012Chris DeAngelis 04:08, 8 June 2012 (CEST)
Sourcing
Plan of Action
- Design ergonomic frame and motracks and gantry on it
- Stiffen frame design to accommodate router heads
- Perfect mechanical design for replicability to 1/32" over 6x12' area
- Research full gas flow control - this may be beyond the scope of the present program - as it would require expensive parts until we can manufacture them ourselves.
