Hugh Watson, founder of Innova Design, has written several articles relating to
engineering, CAD/CAM and design and we feature them here on the web site.
Some of the articles have also been published by EzineArticles and Hugh has been acknowledged by them as an EzineArticles Expert Author.
An introduction to the development of Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machining from Numerical Control (NC) and how this innovation has altered the role of the machine operator.
CNC Machining when combined with 3D CADCAM has revolutionised workshop practice in recent years. It has opened up a whole new world of possibilities for designers who are designing machined components which are intended to be produced in small or medium sized batches. In this article Hugh discusses the changes and constraints from a designers point of view.
If you are in need of an enclosure for your electronics and debating the pro's and con's of what to do, then here are some points for you to consider based on the latest machining techniques that may provide you with a better solution for no extra cost.
By utilising their in house design, prototype and production facility Innova Design and Build Ltd was able to create a new enclosure for a sailing boat tracking device, in time for its debut at an Olympic test event.
