This is a 2 Week Course!
The workshop will take place over two weeks, Mondays, from 6-9pm. After completion of the course a 1 hour test will be booked at your convenience with the instructor. Completion of this course and the test will give participants independent access to the CNC Router to do basic cut operations*.
The class will cover the following:
-CNC Machine Safety and Operation
-Creating Basic Tool Paths from a given file in VCarve (Contour, Pocket and Engraving)
-Cutting Tool Paths on the CNC Router that were made in VCarve
NOT COVERED in Class: Geometry/Vector creation in V-Carve
There
is a lot to cover in this class. For best use of time this will
happen offline and will provide links to tutorials if one chooses to use
it for their 2D. V-Carve will accept vector files from many other
programs. I will provide the class with a simple 2D file to use.
NOTE:
You must bring your own laptop and the free VCarve Pro 9.5 trial downloaded.
Now included with the class is an hour of one on one instructor time
helping to guide you through your first project of a personalized custom
cutting board of your design. Also included are 2 hours of CNC Router
time.
*Use of the Toronto Tool Library Makerspace CNC Router is available to Makerspace members with either a Monthy Membership or with use of a Day Pass at a rate of $25/hour.
