The design and fabrication of a CNC (Computer Numerical Control) plasma cutting machine represent a significant advancement in precision manufacturing, enabling efficient and accurate cutting of conductive materials such as steel, aluminium, and brass. This project focuses on developing a cost-effective, versatile CNC plasma cutting machine tailored for applications in metal fabrication, automotive, aerospace, and artistic design. The system integrates a robust mechanical framework, including a stable frame, gantry, and linear motion components, with a high-performance plasma power supply and automated torch height control (THC) for consistent cut quality. Electrical systems, powered by stepper motors and a CNC controller, ensure precise movement, while CAD/CAM software facilitates the translation of complex designs into G-code for automated operation. The fabrication process involved sourcing materials, assembling mechanical and electrical components, and rigorous calibration to achieve cutting accuracy within ±0.1 mm. Key challenges, such as managing thermal distortion and electromagnetic interference, were addressed through careful design and shielding techniques.

With the consistent improvement in information Technology, especially artificial intelligence, many sectors have benefited from it. Education has an immense role to play in the quality of the individuals who will drive the world to the next stage in each generation. The implementation of AI in education aims to equip the student with a plethora of resources from which information and knowledge can be attained. Though it boasts about potential to revolutionize the educational sector, the danger of over reliance on it still exists, aside from that, role of a teacher isn't one that should be replaced by AI, because human interactions are a necessary part of being a human being as outlined by UNESCO. The report emphasizes the need to discourage students from using generative AI as a shortcut to completing tasks, assignments, and even projects. The aim of teaching students is not for them to just produce answers but to learn how to produce them by working hard and dedicating themselves to the pursuit of knowledge. This is the goal that the educational institutions hope to achieve, and creating a system that would increase the chances of achieving that goal should be embraced and utilized.
