Event Details

About a 2 hour class (might be longer) on getting to know g-code and how it is used in a variety of machines and controllers.  Class will hit the highlights of g-code for the Bridgeport, EMC2, CNC Lathe, and the Makerbot.  In the end the participants should have the ability to look at a g-code program and generally follow the operations being performed.  Participants will also create a program to cut a simple part and test it on a CNC Mill simulator.

i3 Detroit



i3 Detroit is a DIY collective in Ferndale, with tools and resources to facilitate a wide variety of projects. The name stands for "Imagine, Innovate, and Inspire".

Supported by its members but open to guests as well, i3 Detroit's facility hosts workshops and classes as often as possible. Led by volunteer instructors (mostly members), these are usually free, but may require a materials fee for participation.

When there's no class happening (and sometimes when there is!), you'll usually find members in the space, soldering, sewing, welding, sculpting, or just hanging out.

Founded in 2009, i3 Detroit has about 70 members and funds its operation mostly through member dues. Donations from students and guests are always appreciated, and have the potential to substantially increase our resources!
