In this class, you will learn the fundamentals of VCarve Pro.  You’ll learn how to create paths (and holes and letters and pockets) that can be sent to robots to cut into wood (including our wood CNC router). We’ll teach you about the different cutting bits that are used, what you’ll need to consider in designing your cuts, and the settings you’ll use for different types of bits and material.

This class is a pre-requisite for the 2/2 Wood CNC Certification: Intro to Shapeoko Router.  At the completion of this VCarve course, you can register for the CNC router certification.  This class is an additional cost of $50 for materials and maintenance (note: not eligible for class credits).

Skills: This class will cover the basics of importing files, and creating CNC programs using VCarve Pro.
What you’ll be able to to do by the end of the certification: You’ll leave with resources to design your own unique 3d products.
