Conclusion
With the increasing demand for small scale high precision parts in various
industries, the market for small scale machine tools has grown substantially.
Using small machine tools to fabricate small scale parts can provide both
flexibility and efficiency in manufacturing approaches and reduce capital
cost, which is beneficial for small business owners and hobbyists. In this
thesis, a small scale Mini milling machine is designed and analyzed under
very limited budget of 2,900 EGP. During the structure design stage, various
common structure frames are explored and analyzed. The most suitable
structure frame, the open frame vertical type structure, is chosen. Critical
components such as Screw, motor, and bases shape are selected among few
different options. The best value components are selected to accommodate
stiffness requirements and budget constraints. The detailed steps of how to
setup and configuring the Mini Milling Machine is described in chapter 4.
The completed machine is tested using two different materials, i.e. wood and
sheet metal.
