All of the tutorials within this Wiki have been written with the intention to be used as a walkthrough for using the many functions of the CIF machine. The objective of this wiki is to give a written “step by step” protocol. We will not explore every definition of every option proposed by the supporting softwares (Galaad). Certain explications will be given concerning the conceptualization for pieces that are destined to be milled on the CIF. These reflections will be presented within section V.

The Tutorials “2D Milling”, “PCB engraving”, and “3D milling” have been written to explain “step by step” and “menu by menu” every stage of the fabrication process from “Importation of a project to the final “cutting phase””.

I.)Introduction : A basic description of the CIF as well as a list of accepted Formats and suggested support software.

II.)2D Milling : A step by step protocol detailing the work flow required for 2D milling work using Galaad.

III.) PCB Engraving : A step by step example on how to use the “PCB engraving frame” that we made from tutorial II. The objective of this tutorial will be to explain how to make a double sided PCB circuit starting from a gerber format.

IV.) 3D Milling

V.) Concepts du Modelisation

VI.) Maintenance
