• Lecturer: amir

Learn how to let the Geil-O-Mat create very precise workpieces for you. For some inspiration on what can be done using a 3-Axis CNC check out this.
We are going to use HeeksCAD/HeeksCNC to prepare models and EMC2 to control the CNC.

For users of a recent linux distribution (x86) i will provide statically linked binaries of HeeksCAD/CNC since building it is no fun.
For windows users there are binaries provided:

• HeeksCAD download (Win32)
• CNC plugin download (Win32)

If you use another OS, wanna build it yourself anyway or you plan to manufacture a specific workpiece, please contact me -> amir(at-symbol)aks.at.
