BC Hydro has given notice that our electrical service will be intermittent for “an hour or so” starting at 9am on Saturday Sept 20th 2025.
This course is intended to teach a member the capabilities and basics of using a 2.5D CNC router. Once the course is complete, a member should be able to plan, design, and build a project using a CNC router. Upon completion of the course you will be ready for a checkout on the Victoria Makerspace CNC, and should be able to use the CNC on their own.
The primary material for this course will be wood, however, use of plastics and soft metals will be discussed as well. Students will have the opportunity to complete two small projects, in order to build competency and muscle memory on the CNC router.
We will cover the basic use of Vcarve's design tools, but this course is not intended to teach design skills.
Vcarve does NOT run on mac. Apple silicon runs it extremely badly even if you can get it to run in wine or parallels. We have two classroom computers you are welcome to use.
