ADM-4.4 • Engineering Challenge

CNC Setup Risk Review

Audit a proposed CNC setup and identify workholding, origin, tool, collision, and inspection risks before production.

Safety and Application Boundary

This component is an educational manufacturing prototype. It is not approved for installation on a crewed aircraft, operational aircraft, or flight-critical system. Any real aerospace application would require additional engineering analysis, material certification, process control, inspection, documentation, and regulatory approval.

Challenge work involving machine code, CAM, workholding, or equipment must be reviewed before any physical machine operation.

Mission sequence
