About

In this class you will use the Computer Aided Design (CAD) software, Fusion 360, to generate the Control code (G code) to make the letters for a sign project on our CNC milling machine for the Commons downstairs at BARN. Your work will help acknowledge a major benefactor of BARN and will be viewed by many people.

You will then use the code to cut the letters out of plastic. This will help you learn the techniques to go from a design to a finished piece by selecting tools, depth of cut, speeds and feeds as well as fixturing. Although this is a machine shop class, this class will help prepare you for using a CNC router.

This is a Beginners class. Prerequisites: Machine shop Orientation and Intro to Milling Machine. The class will be easier if you have taken the Introduction to Fusion 360 class but it is not required.

Class is limited to 2 students. Other classes are being offered through the month of April and beginning of May. See the Metal Arts calendar here.
