Price: MakeICT Members - $20.00

Required Authorizations: Metalshop

Learn how to use the CNC plasma machine with fusion 360. We will start with a 2D model and go through the steps to cut it out of a sheet of metal. You will follow along in the classroom to understand the procedure needed to produce the g-code for the Plasma CNC machine. Then, each student will have the opportunity to go through the process on the Plasma CNC machine to do a dry-run cut of the 2D design from class.

Please view the wiki page (https://wiki.makeict.org/wiki/CNC_Plasma_Cutter) as it has the information and procedures we will be following in class. Will move quickly so it’s nice to know beforehand what you’re getting into!

If you intend to follow along using your own computer, you are welcome to bring it. You will need to install and create a Fusion 360 account as well as download and import the tools, templates, and post processor files (all custom for the makeICT machine) from the Wiki before the class.
