Summary

An introduction to working with and designing for desktop and benchtop CNCs and subtractive printing.

"Getting Started with CNC is the definitive introduction to working with affordable desktop and benchtop CNCs, written by the creator of the popular open hardware CNC, the Shapeoko. Accessible 3D printing introduced the masses to computer-controlled additive fabrication. But the flip side of that is subtractive fabrication: instead of adding material to create a shape like a 3D printer does, a CNC starts with a solid piece of material and takes away from it. Although inexpensive 3D printers can make great things with plastic, a CNC can carve highly durable pieces out of a block of aluminum, wood, and other materials. This book covers the fundamentals of designing for--and working with--affordable ($500-$3000) CNCs"--

Notes

"Get up and running with CNC fabrication! If you've wanted to add a CNC router to your workshop but weren't sure where to begin, this is the book for you. Easy-to-follow explanations demystify every aspect of CNC routers, including how the mechanical systems work, how to choose end mills, best cutting practices, understanding the CAD/CAM software, and working with G-code. No prior CNC knowledge or experience is required--you don't even need CNC access to complete the exercises in this book"--Page 4 of cover.
