📄️ CAD
Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software is essential for designing machine components. It allows you to create detailed 3D models, which can be used for 3D printing or CNC machining.
📄️ 3D Printing
Once you design your components with CAD software, you can 3D print them to create physical prototypes or final products.
📄️ CNC Machining
Unlike 3D printing, CNC machining is a subtractive manufacturing process that involves cutting away material from a solid block to create the desired shape.
📄️ Programming
To control your machine, you'll need to write some code—usually both firmware (for the hardware) and possibly some software (for a computer or app interface).
📄️ EDA
EDA tools are essential for designing electronic circuits and systems.
