I’m mentoring a group of high school students who are interested in machining and working on a machining calculator app in their free time. I mostly work with wood and 3d printing so I can’t help them as much as I would like, but I thought it could be useful to some others in the shop.
Is there anyone who would be interested in chatting with them / giving feedback on what they’ve come up with so far? Feel free to message me or comment here, and I’ll happily connect you if so.
A short description of their app is below, their landing page is here, and an early prototype of their app is here.
Our machinist calculator helps save time and reduce mistakes in the shop. Our calculator includes speeds/feeds, conversions, and other operations like knurling. We added voice control so you can talk to the calculator when your hands are dirty. We are looking to learn more about problems people face in the machine shop, and most importantly get feedback on our app.
