Instructor: J Good

Join us at CoLab for a basic review of the CNC Router. This regular course is perfect for those who want to begin a their journey towards advanced CNC methods. This machine is better suited for thicker material like 3/4” ply wood, etc.

This tool is commonly used for playa-tech (or flat-pack) furniture, doing 3D reliefs or even cutting very thick plastic for parts.

Please only join if you are truly interested in this tool as the certification path is significantly longer than the CNC Laser. Full certification is achieved after approximately 9 - 12 hours of training and practice.

If basic CNC knowledge is preferred, the CNC Laser course may be better for you. The laser Cert course is only 3 hours and requires zero 3D modeling knowledge. The laser is a great way to get ready for future router classes.

Course Schedule:

Starting with CAD using Fusion 360 and V-Carve Pro (CAD: Computer Assisted Design) moving to CAM (Computer Assisted Manufacturing) with instructor designs. Then moving to the CNC Router for safety, and operational basics before seeing it run. After 3 hours, participants will leave with a useful object that they had input in creating.

Skills instilled:

Students will understand how to take their personal CNC router education path into their own hands.

Cost: Each student is asked to contribute $10.00 for this class.

Students should bring: N/A

Prerequisites: N/A
