The Alberta Dome Project: Producing Models with 5-Axis CNC Router

May 22, 2013/in Alberta Legislature Dome, Blog

The Alberta Dome Project continues to hum along. We have produced up to 8 models a day on our new 5-axis CNC router. As soon as the blocks come off the CNC table they are checked for accuracy and have a mold poured around them.
