Discover the Workshop
This fun and technically challenging course for teens expands digital fabrication skills using the CNC. Students gain traction in Rhinoceros 3D modeling software and basic woodworking techniques in order to mill objects of their own design on a three-axis CNC router. Workflows cover toolpathing and g-code generation, material set up, machine operation and wood finishing. In completing projects that are both sculptural and functional, students explore the benefits of the CNC across disciplines and learn to use it as a step in the process of art making.
