There are 2 classes that members can attend to learn about the CNC. The first is a software class, and the second is a hands-on review of the CNC machine itself. There are 3 computers in the club library that can be used to create designs using VCarve Pro.
In addition, the Maker software license for Vcarve Pro allow club members to download the software on their home computer, create designs, bring the pattern to the shop to cut the design on the CNC.
