Brief Project Description (?)help other teachers decide if this project is something they can do, please briefly indicate the equipment and materials they'd need to do this project. For example, you might need a mill, lathe, protractors and 4x2x0.25 pieces of aluminum for each student. Note that you can attach detailed material and equipment lists below.

The students will design and personalize the body of a clock, and use Mastercam to program the design for use with a CNC mill. Students will take the parts created and assess the fit and finish while assembling a desk clock.
