The application ROWND can control the lathe CNC , to produce various objects in 3D, from different materials. Now available for financing at Kickstarter, the app allows the to customize their sculpture, using metal, plastic, wood, aluminum, or other metal alloys, such as brass. b3i65

What is a CNC lathe and how does it receive instructions from the ROWND app? 5s5i27

O ROWND controls a lathe that models parts with various types of materials, based on projects inserted in the application. That is, you can put some project done in a with de computer aided design, or CAD (computer-aided design, in free translation) in the program, and command the machine for modeling. The options available for this allow the to configure the speed of rotation and movement of the machine's cutters, for example. Below are examples of the lathe in operation:


The ROWND project uses a machine with the technology of computer numerical control, or CNC (computer numerical control), which can be useful in manufacturing parts such as shafts and cones, very useful in industry. This process is called machining: equipment like this does the modeling work with two axes, responsible for the movement of the lathe at the time of the cuts, as you saw before.
That's why it receives the name lathe, as each axis revolves around of itself, in order to generate the cracks, eliminating the chips (as the discarded part of the material inserted in the lathe is called). In this way, the commands made by the application have the of the CNC: the cell phone (check the gif) can be used to indicate the movements, variables, among other options, not needing to be connected to the machine.

The ROWND CNC lathe project is ed by Jellop, which s different projects, through campaigns and ments, from images and other media, provided by the developers of the initiatives. The organization is also active in offering pay-for-performance models and, since 2015, Jellop has already ed 2.100 projects and raised US$ 900 million (or approximately R$ 4,3 billion).
What are the advantages of Rownd CNC? see features 1b1hn

One of the main highlights of the project available on Kickstarter is to control the lathe with various means: you can use the ROWND with a cell phone, computer, or even a joystick (!). Furthermore, its functionality does not involve a difficult interface to interact with: it is very similar to a controller for a common mobile game.
Thus, the experience well serves the goal of the project authors, which is to facilitate the use of creativity to create different projects for many needs. In this way, it is possible to command the machine to produce objects such as chess pieces, dolls, tops and even sculptures, with a very meticulous finish — the CNC lathe has a precision of 0,02 mm.

To give you an idea of how important this characteristic is, we can compare the ROWND CNC with industrial lathes, which can reach an accuracy of 0,002 mm, which is in the range of the average size of some bacteria.
The joystick-controlled lathe is also able to operate with very firm materials, as it reaches the maximum hardness of steel. CK45 — abbreviation used for carbon steel (carbon metal), to define industrial materials used in cars, ships, etc., which resist temperatures up to 480 °C, containing up to 0,45% carbon.
This quality is added to a collection library of various projects that can be indicated to the domestic lathe, which are in the application. Therefore, the organizers encourage purchase by people who have no experience with engineering or machining. Other favorable points are also important, such as:
- Safety: the lathe operates with a protective layer, reducing the chance of risks to the ;
- Compact size: you can place it on a table, so that it operates stably, due to its relatively small weight;
- low noise: the machine doesn't make much noise while cutting the objects, emitting only a slight hiss when modeling.
CNC lathe technical specifications 3z532t

For engineering aficionados, 3D modeling, or even people outside the area, it is important to know more about the more specific details of the CNC lathe from ROWND. In this regard, it is worth mentioning that it has automation to adapt, using different cutting mechanisms (including laser), also having a motor on the axis, which reaches 800 W of power.
Below, we link a list with technical specifications and an image of the page on Kickstarter of the project, which shows the domestic lathe with its internal components. Each part is indicated by a color, which is also on the lines of the table below.

Tutorial: How to CNC lathe project? 6eu6i

O ROWND is available for financial : to the project, those interested can either follow the news via e-mail, inserting their address on the page of the ROWND CNC, how to access the lathe page in Kickstarter. As for the values, it is good that you are willing to pay a lot, if you want to have the machine: the has a minimum cost of US$ 1,00 (during the edition of this article, quoted at R$ 4,79) and the initial is US$ 3.799,00 (close to R$ 18,2 thousand, at the current exchange rate).
If the funding manages to reach the goal of helping, ers will be charged with the amount on the next August 10th. The company Rownd Precision, responsible for the CNC lathe, also informs that there is a questionnaire, where the people who financed indicate the delivery address of the gifts, shirt size that comes as a gift, and other information. Now, check out how to :
Step 1: go to the page ROWND and click the “Pledge On Kickstarter” button.

Step 2: as soon as you access the page, you will find a video and the total amount already accumulated. At the time of writing this article, it was over US$ 209 thousand (more than R$ 1 million). To follow the , click on “Back this project”.

Step 3: then you need to choose your reward. It is in this section that you will find the values for each type of : just follow and select your payment method in “Payment”. We show one of the available examples (shortly after capturing the top of the page), for the amount of US$ 4.299,00 (close to R$ 20,6 thousand).
