Building Precise Machine in Home

Click For Summary
Building a precise machine at home is feasible but requires a solid understanding of precision engineering and access to the right tools. Community college machine shop classes can provide valuable skills and insights into the machining process. Achieving high precision, akin to that used in manufacturing electronics like smartphones and laptops, involves sophisticated techniques and machinery. While it may be challenging to master all aspects of the technology, focusing on fundamental techniques can help in developing the necessary skills. Ultimately, a combination of education and practical experience is essential for success in this endeavor.

Hi,
I am interested in building precise machine in home. I don't have a clear idea of what the machine looks like yet. But it involves high precision to do calculation.

Is it possible to build such machine myself in home? What tool do I need to use?

I would suggest seeing if your local community college offers a machine shop class.
Precision machining has some skill involved. Best not try to reinvent the wheel.
Learning how others do things will go a long way towards success. Precision also means different things to different people.
 
OK. I mean precision as in precision engineering. The kind of precision that is required in building the finished electronic product like handphone and laptop.
Those manufacturers have sophisticated technology and machinery to build the product.
I know it is impossible to grasp everything about the technology and the process.
What I am interested in is the fundamental technique to achieve that kind of precision.
 

Thread 'What mathematics software should engineering students use?'

What mathematics software should engineering students use? Is it correct that much of the engineering industry relies on MATLAB, making it the tool many graduates will encounter in professional settings? How does SageMath compare? It is a free package that supports both numerical and symbolic computation and can be installed on various platforms. Could it become more widely used because it is freely available? I am an academic who has taught engineering mathematics, and taught the...
