  2. Plasma cutting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_cutting

    A specialized use of CNC plasma cutters has been in the heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) industry. Software processes information on ductwork and creates flat patterns to be cut on the cutting table by the plasma torch. This technology has enormously increased productivity within the industry since its introduction in the early ...

  3. Flaming Lotus Girls - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flaming_Lotus_Girls

    Serenity is a 2019 Black Rock City Honoraria project. [8] It features a group of three giant, and many smaller fireflies escaping the pieces of a large broken jar. Serenity is primarily sculpted in steel - and features interactive flame and LED effects at night.

  4. List of fusion experiments - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fusion_experiments

    Toroidal machines can be axially symmetric, like the tokamak and the reversed field pinch (RFP), or asymmetric, like the stellarator.The additional degree of freedom gained by giving up toroidal symmetry might ultimately be usable to produce better confinement, but the cost is complexity in the engineering, the theory, and the experimental diagnostics.

  5. CNC router - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNC_router

    As with CNC milling machines, CNC routers can be controlled directly by manual programming, but CAD/CAM allows wider possibilities for contouring, speeding up the programming process and in some cases creating programs whose manual programming would be impractical. On some controllers the G-code can be loaded as a vector file on the router ...

  6. Metalworking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metalworking

    The spindle usually moves in the z axis. It is possible to raise the table (where the workpiece rests). Milling machines may be operated manually or under computer numerical control (CNC), and can perform a vast number of complex operations, such as slot cutting, planing, drilling and threading, rabbeting, routing, etc. Two common types of ...

  7. Numerical control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_control

    A CNC machine that operates on wood CNC machines typically use some kind of coolant, typically a water-miscible oil, to keep the tool and parts from getting hot. A CNC metal lathe with the door open. In machining, numerical control, also called computer numerical control (CNC), [1] is the automated control of tools by means of a computer. [2]

  8. Multiaxis machining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiaxis_machining

    CAM software automates the process of converting 3D models into tool paths, the route the multiaxis machine takes to mill a part (Fig. 1). This software takes into account the different parameters of the tool head (in the case of a CNC router, this would be the bit size), dimensions of the blank, and any constraints the machine may have.

  9. Plasma torch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_torch

    A plasma torch cutter. A plasma torch (also known as a plasma arc, plasma gun, plasma cutter, or plasmatron) is a device for generating a directed flow of plasma. [1] [2] [3] The plasma jet can be used for applications including plasma cutting, plasma arc welding, plasma spraying, and plasma gasification for waste disposal. [4]
