How can we help?
Q: What CAM/CAD software do you use?
We use Autodesk Fusion360 which is available for free to download as a hobbyist for personal use. It may be useful to familiarise yourself with it before coming along but it is not necessary.
Q: Will I be able to operate a CNC router by myself after this workshop?
CNC routers have a very steep learning curve - much more than most 3D printers and laser cutters. Whilst you will be taken through the basics, most people require 10+ hours of hands-on experience before they can confidently operate a CNC router by themselves. This workshop is a great introduction to see if it's for you before investing in your own machine or joining the Brisbane Makerspace community workshop as a member.
Q: Should I bring a project idea, laptop or materials etc.?
No, everything is included. This is a shared workshop and the teacher will take you through our dedicated CNC router PC which has all the software ready to go. You will get a wooden cheeseboard to engrave and be able to use the provided computer and CNC router bits. Brisbane Makerspace members also get to keep their router bit to use in future projects.
Q: What's the cancellation policy?
A: Free to cancel or reschedule up until 3 days before the class
Q: How long does the class run for, and what's the price?
A: 3.5 hours, $39 - $99 per guest ($39 for BMS Member (Proof Required); $99 for Standard Ticket)
