About

CNC Mills cut material with rotating tools along an computer controlled path to make parts. With simultaneous 3-axis motion and precise position control, CNC mills can machine unique 3D surfaces and cut features to ~0.025 mm (0.001 in.) tolerances. The CNC mills in the Garage have an easy to use interface and an abundance of online learning content to introduce makers to CNC machining.

Training

CNC mill training in the Garage is separated into two streams - CNC mill training and mill CAM training. CNC mill training uses the software on the machine computer to create toolpaths to machine simple parts. Mill CAM training uses CAD and CAM software to create toolpaths to machine complex parts. The flowchart below outlines the training workflow.
