Implementation of CNC Machine

The document describes the implementation of a CNC machine for rapid PCB prototyping. It has a working area of 250mm by 150mm by 50mm, uses NEMA 17 stepper motors for axis movement and a 775 DC motor spindle that can drill bits sizes from 0.5mm to 3mm. An Arduino UNO controls the machine which uses GRBL firmware. The machine aims to ease and speed up the PCB fabrication process compared to existing models.
