Sign Project

For our next project we had to design a sign to mount on our wall. I decided to make a sign for my drum room. Using Autodesk Inventor I designed my sign and then exported it as a DXF. From there we took it to our CNC plasma cutter and cut it out of steel. (As you can see the plasma machine did miss a few steps as it was cutting due to grime in the gears- a problem that we later fixed by modifying our machine. Also, as we would find out later in the year, importing DXF is not the best way to use the plasma machine and I will discuss this in a later post. It still turned out OK I think.)
