This is an introductory course for both beginners, curious to learn more about the CNC machine and VCarve Pro software, and those of you who already own a CNC machine but are looking for some guidance.

In this class, you’ll get an overview of how to design and create cut files in the VCarve Pro software. You’ll learn the basics for practical application, and focus on CNC routing, materials, and tool selection.

Students will see the process of designing and machining a basic sign or picture frame. This class focuses on the entry level desktop/table top CNC machines from Next Wave Automation (NWA).

Machines you will see in the class:
CNC Piranha with a variable speed router
CNC Shark HD5 with a water cooled spindle system
NWA CNC Touch Plate for tool measuring

SKILL LEVEL: Beginner
