Getting started with a CNC router

This workshop will look at the Shaper 3D Router and how it’s unique hardware and software has modernised routing. The Shaper allows for fine detail and highly accurate cutting of a wide variety of material surfaces, quickly and easily, without the constraints experienced with enclosed CNC Routers.

The session will:

- introduce you to the machine and its component parts

- demonstrate how to setup and use the router in a variety of situations

- give you hands on experience of using the router

- showcase additional items that can enhance the use of this versatile tool

The programme is available for SME’s across Sheffield, Barnsley, Doncaster, and Rotherham, as well as Chesterfield, North-East Derbyshire, Derbyshire Dales, Bolsover, and Bassetlaw.

While at the workshop, you’ll learn about our Digital Innovation for Growth Programme – free 12 hours of access to our prototyping workspace in the MakerLab, and the opportunity to work with Sheffield Hallam University’s academic experts.

Our building is fully accessible, and lunch will be provided after the event. Pay and Display parking is available on-site at the County Way Car Park. Any questions about materials please contact DMC@barnsley.gov.uk.
