Event Overview
Are you crafty, a maker, a tech-y who wants to make stuff? Are you a designer, an architect, a print-maker and want see a tool to help you make better stuff? Or, are you someone who is just curious about how the future of making things is changing? If you said yes, or even maybe, then you will benefit from this class (or at least be entertained by a big cutting machine).
What are we talking about? The advancement of technology, computing and software has made producing complex and custom things much easier, specifically through the use of the CNC Milling and Routing Machine. C - N - What? CNC stands for Computer Numerically Controlled. In essence if you draw it or draft it, software converts and sends it to a machine that cuts it, carves it, shapes it or drills it!
This course is designed as an introductory course to this technology, but is open to designers, makers, and hobbyists of all levels. When you leave this class you will not only have a better understanding of how everyday things around you are now being mass-customized (both customized and mass-produced) by the CNC technology, but will also have your very own physical object created by this technology. This object will be unique, designed by YOU! You will design it and cut it during the 2 hour class time.
