CNC training

A CNC milling machine is an indispensable tool for manufacturing products from wood and wood composites nowadays. A 3-axis milling machine allows for fast and precise cutting of flat materials as well as milling complex 3-dimensional shapes. Its versatility enables everything from rapid prototyping to nearly mass production of repeatable pieces, as well as the creation of intricate wooden artworks. Additionally, a fourth axis is available for CNC processing of round workpieces.

The 3-hour training covers the most essential basic knowledge needed for independent use of a CNC milling machine. Participants will first learn the basics of safety when working with a CNC milling machine. We will introduce the purpose and usage of the machine and its components. Firstly, you will prepare a 3D file and convert it into G-code in the CAD/CAM program Fusion360. Then, you will transfer the prepared G-code to the software of the CNC machine, MACH3, which you will also use to control the machine. You will learn how to select the appropriate cutting tool and how to properly install and adjust its position on the machine.

Participants are required to gather 15 minutes before the scheduled time in the entrance hall of Rog Center. Please store personal belongings in the lockers before the program begins. Do not be late for the program. We cannot guarantee entry in case of tardiness—once the creative process starts, joining the session is no longer possible!

In case of non-attendance, the fee is non-refundable, and rescheduling is not possible. However, you can transfer your participation to another person by notifying us at least 24 hours before the start via email at les@center-rog.si.
