This orientation clears you for independent access to our CNC Router

Do you want to shape foam, wood, and other soft materials with high repeatability and computer accuracy? Maybe you want to explore how to bring your designs into the real world or experiment with using CNC technology to create molds, signs or tooling?

If you want to jump into CNC technology this hands-on training is a great place to start. Our Basic CNC Orientation provides everything you need to know to get up and running on your own projects. This 2-hour orientation covers fundamental skills and successful practices while you learn how to prepare your files and operate the equipment correctly and safely. You will walk away with an efficient workflow that enables you to turn your design into toolpaths, set up your work for processing, and reset equipment to its original conditions for the next user. It is designed to provide the core knowledge you need to work independently while you build your confidence and experience.

There are no prerequisites for this orientation.
