The CNC Torch Table is a computer controlled machine that quickly cuts intricate patterns out of large steel sheets, that are difficult to cut by hand. The machine should be able to interpret DXF files and cut out the defined parts. Many parts that make up the 50 GVCS Tools can be cut on the CNC Torch Table, making this machine valuable for repication.

Computer Control Overview
CNC Torch Table I
Prototyped and Tested in experimental production runs.
Identified software toolchain as a performance bottleneck.
Design Rational
The following points have been considered throughout Torch Table development.
- Rigid design to maximize precision
- Perfect mechanical design for replicability to 1/32" over 5.5' x 11.5' area
- Ability to cut 20 feet long 4" square tube.
- Ability to cut 10 feet long 6" square tube. (without removal of vertical slats)
- Ability to cut 10 feet long 10" square tube. (with removal of vertical slats)
