Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) is a critical skill in many hobbies in professional fields. It allows someone to create programs for computerized machines like CNC routers. This CAM & CNC class covers the basic knowledge needed to program a CNC machine that could be found in the home shop, local maker space, or even professional shop. Participants will learn about different CNC machines and processes and why CAM is used for CNC machines. They will use Fusion 360 to understand the basics of importing a part, creating a setup, creating toolpaths, and generating a program. They will program a part to be made on router out of wood and take home their part. The class uses Fusion 360, a common software package for hobbyists and professionals. Participants do NOT need to have their own Fusion licenses for this class. CAD knowledge can be useful but is not necessary. Knowledge of milling can be helpful, but is not necessary. Freeside offers a separate class on how to use a Bridgeport Mill and a separate class on CAD. Meetup Details: $125 (pay on the Meetup page) Griffin Brown is the instructor What To Wear: No clothing or health restrictions

Locations change each time, but the vibe stays the same: casual, welcoming, and a little bit weird. Hope to see you there!
