Re: 4499 Custom Chassis
They used a CNC machine to cut all the patterns in the tubes. It took about 3 hours to do each tube but they turned out great. They used Creo from PTC to generate their CNC G-Code from the actual design of the robot. Everything from cutting the beams to the design was done in-house using our Tree 310 CNC milling machine and other assorted shop equipment.
