About this Event
Welcome to the world of CNC! This is a hands-on introduction to CNC using Bellingham Makerspace's X-Carve machine. You will learn to use design software, hands-on use of the CNC and also carve a small project that you design. Makerspace members can use the X-Carve for personal projects after taking this class.
What to bring with you to class: Laptop if you have one (not required). You will be doing software design so if you normally use a mouse to move your cursor, bring it with you.
