Milling process of the bottle model
Old footage of machining this DeskProto sample model
Machining a simple model: one half of the perfume bottle (low res) (1 min 17 sec)
This video already is quite old and in a low resolution (shot in April 2000), it has in fact been kept available 'for old times sake'. Nevertheless: as the basic steps for simple milling have not changed it still is correct.
You can find more high-res versions of the milling process in our more recent tutorial videos.
The bottle video shows the process of milling a simple part (a perfume bottle).
The six steps that are shown are:
- The model material (tooling board) being fixed on a slab of board.
- The material being fixed on the table of the milling machine.
- Setting the workpiece zero point (telling the machine where to find the block).
- The start of the milling process.
- The end of the milling process, you can also hear the machine running.
- The milled bottle half being attached to a second half, resulting in a complete model.
