Machined Paperweight

As part of an exercise for 2.008 - Design and Manufacturing II, I machined an aluminum paperweight. The profile of the piece was turned on a CNC lathe and the face design was made using a CNC mill. 3D concept design was done in SolidWorks and 2D projections were imported into Mastercam to produce toolpaths that were run on CNC machines.
