The Bella Coola Makerspace is happy to announce our third CNC Milling workshop – open to the public and free of charge!

CNC Milling – Saturday March 16 – 1pm

Learn how to carve with a computer! Designs, signs, engravings – carve almost anything into wood, plastic or even soft metal with the ‘Xcarve’, a CNC milling machine setup at the Bella Coola Makerspace. Learn how to prepare, calibrate, and carve in this hands-on afternoon workshop. Bring a board, make a sign!

Community members continue to bring new ideas to life at the Bella Coola Makerspace with the Xcarve CNC Milling platform. Address signs, desktop designs, engravings on furniture, celebration-of-life plaques…

Most visitors are pleasantly surprised at how accessible CNC technology is; they come for a quick look, and often leave with a finished product. Text + clipart + wood, voila.
