Into the Creative Craft of the Future with the CNC Milling Machine
A workshop is scheduled at the FabLab Bayreuth on May 16, 2026, that excitingly combines technology, precision, and practice. Under the title Working like the Professionals: The CNC Milling Machine, participants will learn the basics of CAD/CAM, digital preparation with Fusion360, and safe handling of the portal milling machine.
When Ideas Become Concrete Forms
The course walks participants step by step through the entire work process: from understanding how a CNC milling machine works, to cutters, materials, and limitations, all the way to implementing their own projects. This is exactly what makes the event experience so special: it’s not about dry theory, but about real machine knowledge in an open high-tech workshop.
Hands-on, Compact, and Suitable for Beginners
With a maximum of five participants, there is plenty of room for personal guidance and organized instruction. The workshop is designed for various skill levels and is aimed at anyone who wants to understand how digital manufacturing works in practice. Particularly exciting: working with Fusion360, preparing the milling program, and directly witnessing the subtractive principle of CNC technology.
FabLab Atmosphere with Genuine STEM Character
The open high-tech workshop in Upper Franconia offers low-threshold access to modern production technology. This is where the appeal of this course lies: learning in a small group, focused audience engagement, and an environment where technology becomes tangible. This is event planning with practical value, educational aspiration, and clear practical relevance.
Conclusion: Experience Technology Rather than Just Reading About It
For those who want to not only understand CNC milling but experience it live, this is a compact, expert-led workshop with high relevance for anyone interested in digital manufacturing, machine operation, and creative work. Spots are limited – so it’s worth checking the registration early.
