Intro to CNC with V-Carve
About this Event
Learn how to use CNC machines in your project! We will go over the tools available for drawing shapes, how to import an SVG file, and what speeds and feed rates are best for different materials. We'll also talk about different kinds of bits that are available and their best uses.
Most importantly you'll get hands-on experience with the ShopBot machine itself and cover best practices for clamping material to the wasteboard, how to change bits in the router, and safe machine operation.
Class is open to ages 16 and up, though minors must be accompanied by a responsible adult at all times. The adult must purchase an additional ticket to attend the class.
Closed-toed shoes are required. Safety goggles will be provided. If you wear prescription glasses, you may want to bring your own eye protection. Hearing protection is optional, bring your own if desired.
MakerSpace Charlotte is located in the brick side door, up the ramp. Ring bell for entry.
