Project Details
This is a part for a very large Aerospace defense company. It's part of the airframe. This job had 5 total parts in the family that I had to make. This one took some years off my life. It was way outside the work envelope of my machine. That being said I had to be very creative with my tool axis control. There was actually holes in this part that you could not drill as there wasn't direct access. I had to use a Morph toolpath with a lollipop cutter to create the holes.
