Hi, new to here. I am a time served Design/Project Manager and have 50 years experience in a wide variety of engineering disciplines
I have been using Solid Works for Solid modelling since 2003 and VisiCam for programming.

At home I am planning to convert an old Viceroy AEW Vertical mill to CNC to allow me to tinker during retirement.

I have a few things I want to make for my TVR Griffith 500
I will also make and mend when needed, I have always had access to a workshop but that ended when I retired and it has been pretty frustrating without it.

I have spent many years creating 3d Models and machining them or electrodes to produce mould tools.
I have also employed the use of 3D laser machining for precision mould tools and rapid prototyping.
