Here is an excerpt from Ivan’s Engraving webpage:
“Engraving is the practice of incising a design onto a hard, flat surface, by cutting grooves into it. The result may be a decorated object in itself, as when silver, gold or steel are engraved, or may provide an intaglio printing plate, of copper or another metal, for printing images on paper, which are called engravings. Engraving was a historically important method of producing images on paper, both in artistic printmaking, and also for commercial reproductions and illustrations for books and magazines. It has long been replaced by photography in its commercial applications and, partly because of the difficulty of learning the technique, is much less common in printmaking, where it has been largely replaced by etching and other techniques.”
User’s can find more engraving information on Ivan’s Engraving website at: Engraving. Engraving and CNC aren’t necessarily two topics that come together in people’s mind but they are intertwined more than one may think. Check out Ivan’s new Engraving webpage on his Computer Numerical Control website at the following web address: CNC Engraving

2008-Mar-4 - Rapid Prototyping Explained
Rapid Prototyping information has just been added to a new CNC Prototyping section on Ivan’s CNC Community Website.
Rapid Prototyping has become very popular in the past few years, especially its connection to CNC. Thus, Ivan Irons has just added a new section on Rapid Prototyping to his CNC Information website. This Prototyping section brings the CNC users everywhere into the latest cutting edge technology on Rapid Prototyping by providing the latest and greatest rapid prototyping information. This information can be found on Ivan’s CNC Community website and is free to the public to access at: http://www.cncinformation.com/rapid-prototyping-prototyping-cnc-prototype/.
“Rapid prototyping takes virtual designs from computer-aided design (CAD) or animation modeling software, transforms them into thin, virtual, horizontal cross-sections and then creates each cross-section in physical space, one after the next until the model is finished. It is a WYSIWYG process where the virtual model and the physical model correspond almost identically.
With additive fabrication, the machine reads in data from a CAD drawing and lays down successive layers of liquid, powder, or sheet material, and in this way builds up the model from a series of cross sections. These layers, which correspond to the virtual cross section from the CAD model, are joined together or fused automatically to create the final shape. The primary advantage to additive fabrication is its ability to create almost any shape or geometric feature.
The standard data interface between CAD software and the machines is the STL file format. An STL file approximates the shape of a part or assembly using triangular facets. Tiny facets produce a higher quality surface. “

“Motion control is a sub-field of automation, in which the position and/or velocity of machines are controlled using some type of device such as a hydraulic pump, linear actuator, or an electric motor, generally a servo. Motion control is an important part of robotics and CNC machine tools, however it is more complex than in the use of specialized machines, where the kinematics are usually simpler. The latter is often called General Motion Control (GMC). Motion control is widely used in the packaging, printing, textile and assembly industries. “
Ivan will continually update information throughout the launch of his CNC Community website. Users should check back often at: Ivan's Control Website to get the latest CNC Motion Control Information.
