/ CLASS DETAILS
This three-day class is designed to cover the fundamentals of CNC programming as well as the setup and operation of a CNC milling machine. Students will use Fusion 360 to design and toolpath parts before setting up and executing the programs on the machine.
Computers will be provided for the class. Attendees may also bring their personal laptops for use in the class. Attendees may use either the commercial (paid) or personal (free) license of Fusion 360. The commercial license of Fusion 360 is recommended. Autodesk provides free 30-day trial accounts that convert to a personal license at the conclusion of the trial period. You can sign up for a trial account here.
Classes will run from 8:30 am to 4:30 PM with a one-hour lunch. Lunch is provided as part of the class. Attendees may choose an alternative lunch plan at their own expense.
