CNC101: Concepts of CNC - Level 1
This is the first in our CNC Machining Series of classes, a Level 1 class. Learn the basics of CNC (computer numerical control) devices. This seminar will present the whole CNC process, from CAD (computer aided design) to CAM (computer aided machining) to CUT (cutting your part). Learn the essentials of calculating Feeds & Speeds. Understand the uses and differences between Climb cutting and Conventional cutting.
Many of our students have found that they end up taking all the classes in this CNC series, even if they have to schedule them out of order. It is strongly recommended to have taken either CNC Level 1 or CNC Level 2 BEFORE taking a CNC Level 3 or CNC Level 4 class.
NOTE: This class may be attended by students under 18 without a parent or guardian. Minimum age restriction still applies.
Once you have successfully completed this class you will have the knowledge needed to enroll in the next CNC Machining Series software classes and SBU’s.

CNC102: CNC Vinyl Cutter SBU - Level 1
In this Level 1 Safety and Basic Use class (SBU) you will learn to make your own vehicle signs, banners, and paint masks at TechShop on our computer-controlled vinyl cutter. In this class, you will learn how to import your vector (outline) designs from a variety of graphics and text tools like Adobe Illustrator, Corel Draw or simple type creation tools, then use those files to control TechShop's CNC vinyl cutter to cut vinyl sheet into professional looking signage, or ready-to-apply self-adhesive paint masking. Learn to use FlexiStarter 8 software to also create art and signs for the vinyl cutter. This is a great tool for making screens for Silk Screen Printing, too!
NOTE: This class may be attended by students under 18 without a parent or guardian. Minimum age restriction still applies.
Once you take and successfully pass this class, you can use this equipment for your projects whenever you work at TechShop as a member!

CNC201: CNC CAD-to-CAM Software - Level 2
In this information packed hands-on computer class you will learn the ins and outs of working with both VCarve Pro and Cut3D Software packages.
VCarve Pro is a easy to use CNC Toolpath engine that generates precision toolpaths for virtually all CNC machines. You'll learn how to convert CAD DXF files and graphic designs into GCode based CNC Toolpaths for machining high quality parts and components.
Cut3D is a dedicated toolpath engine for CNC machining 3D models that have been designed using a 3D CAD software such as Autodesk Inventor and other graphic design products. Cut3D's simple interface leads you step-by-step through the process of loading a model, setting the size, workholding, calculating single, double or four sided roughing and finishing toolpaths. It will even allow you to virtually preview the results of your toolpath and then finally save the CNC code to run on your choice of machines.
Upon successful completion of this class you will have the experience and knowledge necessary to enroll in any Level 3 CNC Machining Series class.
TechShop CNC Machining Series also includes:
CNC Level 1: Concepts of CNC (Start here to learn all the vocabulary and concepts needed to get the most out of the other classes in this series.)
CNC Level 2: Cad to Cam Software (You've got the lingo down and a file to cut so how do you get it into a language the machine will understand?)
CNC Level 3: ShopBot SBU (Apply what you've learned and get cleared to start using the ShopBot CNC Router to build whatever you imagine.)
CNC Level 3: Desktop Router SBU (Apply what you've learned and get cleared to start using the CNC Desktop Router to build whatever you imagine.)
CNC Level 4: Tormach SBU (Apply what you've learned and get cleared to start using the Tormach 3D Router to build whatever you imagine.)

CNC301: CNC Tormach Milling Machine SBU - Level 3
In this Level 3 Safety and Basic Use class (SBU), you will learn to translate your parts designed in VCarve Pro and/or Cut3D software into physical reality using our CNC (computer numeric controlled) Tormach milling machine. Parts can be made from aluminum, steel and most ferrous metals. This class is most useful to people who have previous CAD experience or have taken an introduction to CAD class.
Many of our students have found that they end up taking all the classes in this CNC series, even if they have to schedule them out of order. It is preferable to have taken either CNC Level 1 or CNC Level 2 BEFORE taking a CNC Level 3 or CNC Level 4 class.
Prerequisite: For your safety, you MUST have previous CNC knowledge before attending this class. CAD and CAM software experience is needed!
For your safety please wear a short-sleeved shirt, and remember to always wear closed-toed shoes at TechShop. Safety glasses are also required, street glasses are not a substitute.
