Digitization of paper sketches into a format for CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machines.

The design of a complex control panel has been completed for subsequent laser cutting from sheet metal. The work included transferring the client's technical requirements into a digital vector format, taking into account the assembly units.

What has been done:

Geometry and dimensions: Accurate placement of mounting holes for fasteners and functional elements.

Ventilation grilles: A cooling system has been designed in the form of parallel slots (cuts), ensuring air circulation without loss of panel rigidity.

Complex cutouts: Contours have been prepared for rectangular interfaces (displays/switches) while adhering to technological radii.

Preparation for CNC: The file is completely cleared of duplicate lines, all vectors are closed, ensuring a clean cut by the machine without failures.

Technical specifications:

Tool: FreeCAD.

Format: DXF (ready for upload to the machine controller).

Purpose: Laser cutting of metal.
