5-Axis machining, My set up is to be a trunnion table arrangement on a
Bridgeport. We just bought a Bridgeport 2 lathes and 2 tig welders and a
bunch of tooling you need lots of tooling.
We are looking at 3D printing but I'm not convinced it's good for us at
this stage. (I can most likely machine what we need)
I plan to build a very large lathe from I-Beam for tank welding you can
turn it with a large stepper.
Some tools (I consider tools) are also propellant tanks
An autoclave
A large vacuum test chamber
Supersonic wind tunnel
Balancing equipment both large and small the small being very high
speed.
A dynomometer (for testing turbines)
The list gets out of hand from here.
Of course you need a full electronics lab and some chemistry equipment.
