This training involved the design and machining of mechanical parts, as well as the design and manufacture of tooling for plastic injection, cutting and stamping. Afterwards, I decided to return to my hometown in Limousin to bring my vision to life. That\u2019s how RC proto was born in January 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At RC proto, I focus on machining small prototype mechanical parts in aluminium and engineering plastics (PET, POM, standard PEEK, and HPV PEEK), while continuing my work as a methodologist in the aerospace industry. This project is a dream come true that allows me to combine my love for precision engineering with the joy of designing cutting-edge machines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My interest in the kinematics and mechanics of machine tools naturally led me to want to create a precision machine. The idea of developing a 5-axis micro-milling machine came to me when I realised that my current machine could not achieve the level of precision needed for certain projects, particularly those requiring tolerances of a few microns. As well as machining prototypes, I have even considered using it as a learning tool to train myself in watchmaking, another passion that I want to explore.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-designing-a-compact-machine-without-compromising-on-performance\"><strong>Designing a Compact Machine Without Compromising on Performance<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Creating a micro-milling machine came with its fair share of challenges, but I saw each one as an opportunity to innovate. My goal was clear: to design a machine that was not only compact and lightweight (under 20 kilos) but was also capable of achieving total precision. After experimenting with different materials, I found the perfect solution in 5083 aluminium. It\u2019s light, durable, and corrosion-resistant\u2014ideal for both the casing and other key components.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But I wanted more than just performance. I wanted the machine to look just as impressive, so I chose an anodised finish in sleek shades of red, black, and grey. The result? A machine that is as stylish as it is functional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><div class=\"wp-block-image__wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/xometry.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/micro-ballscrews-rc-proto-576x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Micro ballscrews\" class=\"wp-image-56674\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xometry.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/micro-ballscrews-rc-proto-576x1024.jpg 576w, https:\/\/xometry.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/micro-ballscrews-rc-proto-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/xometry.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/micro-ballscrews-rc-proto-768x1365.jpg 768w, https:\/\/xometry.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/micro-ballscrews-rc-proto-864x1536.jpg 864w, https:\/\/xometry.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/micro-ballscrews-rc-proto-1152x2048.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/xometry.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/micro-ballscrews-rc-proto-scaled.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><a class=\"wp-block-image__fancy-box-button\" href=\"https:\/\/xometry.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/micro-ballscrews-rc-proto-scaled.jpg\" data-fancybox=\"gallery-56901\" data-caption=\"Micro ballscrews\" aria-label=\"Open full image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/xometry.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/micro-ballscrews-rc-proto-scaled.jpg\" class=\"wp-block-image__fancy-box-button-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"><svg class=\"wp-block-image__fancy-box-button-icon\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"18\" height=\"18\" viewBox=\"0 0 18 18\" fill=\"none\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\r\n               <path d=\"M0 2V6H2V2H6V0H2C0.895 0 0 0.895 0 2ZM2 12H0V16C0 17.105 0.895 18 2 18H6V16H2V12ZM16 16H12V18H16C17.105 18 18 17.105 18 16V12H16V16ZM16 0H12V2H16V6H18V2C18 0.895 17.105 0 16 0Z\" fill=\"#092C47\"\/>\r\n             <\/svg><\/a><\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Micro ballscrews<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"overcoming-space-constraints-with-smart-engineering\"><strong>Overcoming Space Constraints With Smart Engineering<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>One of the toughest challenges was integrating the motors on the Y and Z axes. With space being tight, I had to get creative. The solution? I hollowed out the Y-axis ram to house the motors, a clever design inspired by old manual milling machines, where many mechanical elements were built right into the ram. This approach gave me the compactness I needed. I also opted for a belt drive system to prevent the motors from protruding and adding unnecessary weight. This design choice kept everything streamlined and efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><div class=\"wp-block-image__wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"917\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/xometry.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/engine-rc-proto-917x1024.jpg\" alt=\"One of the motors of the micro-milling machine\" class=\"wp-image-56686\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xometry.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/engine-rc-proto-917x1024.jpg 917w, https:\/\/xometry.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/engine-rc-proto-269x300.jpg 269w, https:\/\/xometry.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/engine-rc-proto-768x858.jpg 768w, https:\/\/xometry.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/engine-rc-proto-1376x1536.jpg 1376w, https:\/\/xometry.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/engine-rc-proto-1834x2048.jpg 1834w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 917px) 100vw, 917px\" \/><a class=\"wp-block-image__fancy-box-button\" href=\"https:\/\/xometry.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/engine-rc-proto.jpg\" data-fancybox=\"gallery-56901\" data-caption=\"One of the motors of the micro-milling machine\" aria-label=\"Open full image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/xometry.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/engine-rc-proto.jpg\" class=\"wp-block-image__fancy-box-button-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"><svg class=\"wp-block-image__fancy-box-button-icon\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"18\" height=\"18\" viewBox=\"0 0 18 18\" fill=\"none\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\r\n               <path d=\"M0 2V6H2V2H6V0H2C0.895 0 0 0.895 0 2ZM2 12H0V16C0 17.105 0.895 18 2 18H6V16H2V12ZM16 16H12V18H16C17.105 18 18 17.105 18 16V12H16V16ZM16 0H12V2H16V6H18V2C18 0.895 17.105 0 16 0Z\" fill=\"#092C47\"\/>\r\n             <\/svg><\/a><\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">One of the motors of the micro-milling machine<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"pushing-the-limits-of-automation-and-precision\"><strong>Pushing the Limits of Automation and Precision<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>I also equipped the machine with a high-speed pneumatic spindle that can reach up to 120,000 RPM. This addition has revolutionised the machine&#8217;s capabilities, especially when it comes to speed and precision for small part machining. I also incorporated an automatic tool probe that calibrates each new tool automatically. This innovation significantly reduces errors, particularly when dealing with delicate, small-diameter tools that require extra care.<\/p>\n\n\n    <section class=\"article-slider-block\">\r\n
