We’ve so busy in the shop lately we’ve managed to slip our new powder coating booth in the queue. We modeled it in SolidWorks to ensure it will be the right size for our use, as well as maximize the use of all the material purchased. It will allow us to powder coat multiple parts while being hung from the copper grounding bar. The hangers will have swivels so it will allow the part to rotate in place as well.
Here is the 3D model before we cut any wood. We haven’t modeled a vent hood for the filter just yet. That will be the next part of this project.
And here is the booth assembled on the workbench and almost ready to go.
We typically work with thousanths of an inch or tenths of a millimeter, so working with wood which is not dimensionally accurate at all is a test of our patience. However this booth came together pretty easily and really at a minimal cost. The vent will most likely be something cut off the CNC table and welded up. It will be nice once it’s done and this booth will get a lot of use in the shop.
