Get to know the tools and the people who design, develop, build, and support them. You’ll experience what it’s like to become a part of the ShopBot Tools community; see how the tools are manufactured, learn from our staff and meet other ShopBot users.
We offer basic training for using CNC technology at our Durham, North Carolina headquarters. Classes are scheduled monthly and are limited in size to maximize participants hands-on time. This small group training guides students through ShopBot tool usage, basic digital design file creation (CAD), and toolpath preparation (CAM). Every month we teach small business owners, industry professionals, educators, artists, and beyond, how to meet their goals with CNC.
Classes begin each day at 9:00AM and end at 5:00PM.
Prior to coming to your training, we ask that you please download the demo version of VCarve Pro, which can be found on Vectric's website, and familiarize yourself with the software to get the most out of the class.
The price (per person) includes cost of materials used during creation of take-home sample projects, light breakfast, lunch, as well as snacks and refreshments both days.
No CNC experience necessary. The focus of this training is on beginner to intermediate users. Experienced users often find basic training to be useful as a refresher for tool maintenance and updates to design and/or control software.
Basic Training at ShopBot HQ in Durham, NC July 18-19 and August 29-30. More dates to be added soon.
Visit the website of our training partner, the North Carolina Furniture School for a current schedule of training classes.
