Metal CNC
CAM
We use Fusion 360 for our CAM work. It has a free student license and a free hobbyist license so your skills will always be useful! Our Metal CNC Masters are proficient in using it, and there are tons of free resources online to help you turn your CAD into good, manufacturable, CAM.
Tooling
We have most tooling you would want for your projects available for free! Our standard endmills we keep on hand range from 1/16″ to 1/2″, so if you need something in that range, you’re good.
Machining
We currently have three different mills that can each serve a different project and machinist skill level. Contact our Metal CNC Masters to ask which is right for your project!
