CNC Basics

CNC Basics

Step into the world of precision woodworking and digital craftsmanship using Computer Numerical Control (CNC) technology!

Our knowledgeable instructor will guide you through the basics of CNC machining by introducing design practices with Carbide Create CAD/CAM Software (free windows or mac download), safety protocols, CNC tool setup, and material milling (with a demo). At the end of this session participants will select a CNC project and schedule a follow-up session to use the Nomad3 CNC at unBound. The library will provide digital designs and all needed materials for several different types of projects including trays, signs, various boxes with lids, 3D relief carvings, and wood inlays.

After these two sessions, participants will be 'badged' and can then reserve the CNC machine for their personal use.
