Camp ShopBots are free 1-day events organized, lead and sponsored by ShopBot Tools, Inc. They feature topic-based presentations, Q&A sessions, face to face networking with other ShopBot users as well as guest speakers.

Our host is Justin Boyd, Chair of the Sculpture and Integrated Media Department.

Topics will include Understanding Chipload Calculations, Cutting Plastics and Aluminum, Machine Maintenance, and more.

**And, we highly encourage you to bring one or more ShopBot projects for the Show and Tell Session. It is a great way to share your own work and see specific techniques in person. If you do client commissions or large scale work, feel free to bring photographs.**
