Project Overview

A digital manufacturing workflow that integrates CNC routing, six-sided drilling, HOMAG precision drilling, and automated edgebanding into one coherent production system.

My role centers on aligning equipment capabilities, optimizing machining parameters, and stabilizing the end-to-end production flow to ensure consistent, accurate, and reliable output.

G-code Toolpath Analysis

The toolpath visualization illustrates how CNC operations translate digital geometry into structured machining sequences.
I refine cutting depth, feed rates, drilling coordinates, and routing logic to ensure accuracy, avoid tool collisions, and optimize machining speed.

Equipment & Workflow

A sequence of core fabrication processes—CNC cutting, multi-face drilling, HOMAG drilling, and automated edgebanding—capturing the mechanical precision and integrated flow that support full-house custom cabinetry manufacturing.

Operational Responsibilities

My responsibilities extend beyond operating equipment.
I diagnose production deviations, stabilize machining output, adjust process parameters, document workflow logic, and ensure equipment aligns with project specifications.
This hands-on understanding of machines and data allows me to integrate production flow with real-time decision-making.

Production Workflow in Practice

A visual documentation of day-to-day fabrication operations—from machine calibration and tooling adjustments to drilling accuracy checks and workflow synchronization across multiple CNC systems.

Final Reflection

This project represents my role in connecting machine performance, workflow logic, and operational decision-making within a modern digital fabrication environment.

By refining machining parameters, coordinating equipment capabilities, and optimizing the full fabrication cycle, I ensure consistent, precise, and efficient production outcomes.

It demonstrates my ability to guide complex manufacturing operations—from troubleshooting and calibration to workflow integration—while maintaining a clear focus on long-term reliability and system-level thinking.
