MAKERSPACES SCHEDULE
CNC Turning In-Person
Learn to prepare a CNC (computer controlled machining) program for the Prototrak lathes in The Deep. We will use Fusion 360 to make a rook. The head is an off-the-shelf castle nut installed on threads turned on the lathe.
PREREQUITE: before taking this class, you must have a manual lathe credential at The Deep. You can get that by taking our Lathe 1: Manual training. Or if you have previous manual turning experience, get a checkoff for our machines.
REQUIRED PREPARATION: before class starts, please ensure you have an autodesk account with an education license for Fusion 360. This is free, but takes some time. If you are able to launch Fusion 360 (on either your laptop or a shop laptop), and have access to the Manufacture workspace, you are ready.

Note: If you don’t show up to your training session you will NOT be able to sign up for another session without a reasonable explanation or a note from S^3. If you cancel the day of your training session without a reasonable explanation, you will also NOT be able to signup for another training session. Please contact ml-questions@mit.edu if you have questions about this policy.
Please be on time; while we do our best to accommodate lateness, we cannot always do so. Training will begin, at the latest, 5 minutes after the scheduled start time.
Please wear shop appropriate attire: close-toed shoes, long hair tied back, no loose or dangling clothing.
Directions: Room 37-072, 70 Vassar St. Take the elevator to the basement of building 37 and turn left twice. The Deep will be in front of you, with a mural over the door.
