Workshop and working methods

In my workshop, I check the actual component: scanning, designing, milling, turning, welding and printing.

What is possible here

  • Scanning
  • CAD/CAM and milling
  • Turning
  • Welding
  • Drilling
  • Additive manufacturing and workstation organisation

Current state

Conventional and additive processes are available side by side. I can try variants on the component before making a recommendation.

The workshop today: machines, a vehicle lift and workbenches in one hall.

Scanning

I capture components, patterns and assemblies in 3D as a basis for reverse engineering, inspection and documentation.

Scanning workstation: capture the component and check the data directly on the laptop.

Fräsen

CAD/CAM and machining are handled by one person. The detailed account is on the project page.

Turning

My lathe has been retrofitted with glass scales and a digital readout.

Lathe and drawer organisation

Turning: cross slide and tool holder on my lathe.

Welding

Welding is part of my workshop process. For the bearing bridge, the choice of plasma-cut parts was guided by the client's existing environment.

Drilling

I modernised my bench drill with a variable-frequency drive (VFD), adapted controls and a speed display.

Additive manufacturing and organisation

Printing is used where it serves the task: as an interface, fixture, pattern or workstation organisation system.

The beginnings

This is how the hall looked at the beginning. The current state is shown above on this page.
