Camp ShopBot

This year's Pittsburgh Camp ShopBot is on Saturday, November 19!
After a year hiatus, we are returning to Pittsburgh for the 2nd ever Pittsburgh Camp. We are pleased to be back at TechShop Pittsburgh (http://www.techshop.ws/pittsburgh.html) (192 Bakery Square, Pittsburgh 15206). Join us for a day of topic-based presentations on software, machining and machine maintenance.
You do not need to be a member of TechShop to attend.
Camps are intended for any skill level and all types of ShopBot users. We cover an array of topics that can be applied to any application such as how to calculate feed/speed rates and how to keep your machine tuned up and running smoothly. And other technique-based topics such as setting up a file and machining a 2-sided project, various 3D carving strategies, and tips for cutting plastics, foam and alternative materials. We'll also present some of Aspire 8.5's new features, Vectric's 3D modeling/machining software.
Camps are free with lunch included but registration is required to help in the planning:

Schedule:

9am- Noon: Morning Presentations
Noon- 1pm: Lunch break
1- 1:30pm: Show and Tell Session
1:30- 4pm: Afternoon Presentations
Camps usually wrap up by 4:15.
*Every Camp has a Show and Tell Session that lets you show off your work. This is what makes each Camp really special and different: Seeing all the various things being created using the machines! Anything from a ShopBot-made jig, to a complex 3D carving, to a test piece gone wrong, to flatpack furniture, having an array of items really enhances the conversation. So get those projects finished and bring them along in November! We'll have floor space available as well as tables to set your projects on.*
This Camp is great for anyone living in PA, northern WV, and eastern OH.
