Getting Started with CNC: Personal Digital Fabrication with Shapeoko and Other Computer-Controlled Routers: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Getting Started with CNC: Personal Digital Fabrication with Shapeoko and Other Computer-Controlled Routers" wrote himself).

Getting Started with CNC is the definitive introduction to working with affordable desktop and benchtop CNCs, written by the creator of the popular open hardware CNC, the Shapeoko. Accessible 3D printing introduced the masses to computer-controlled additive fabrication. But the flip side of that is subtractive fabrication: instead of adding material to create a shape like a 3D printer does, a CNC starts with a solid piece of material and takes away from it. Although inexpensive 3D printers can make great things with plastic, a CNC can carve highly durable pieces out of a block of aluminum, wood, and other materials. This book covers the fundamentals of designing for--and working with--affordable ($500-$3000) CNCs.

Fifteen years ago, I watched a CNC machine run for the first time. It was mesmerizing. After observing it for a few weeks, I decided that I would build a small oneI had to. I was in love.
As I began to gather information, I found myself slowly peeling back the layers, but I had no idea what I was getting intoyou dont know what you dont know. Around every corner, Id encounter a new term, picture, or video documenting something completely foreign. Id pursue these leads, but as I began to grasp one concept, it would spawn another series of questions.
After two long years of research, I decided that I had finally gathered enough information to begin creating my own CNC machine. The first prototype wasnt accessible, affordable, or able to be replicated, but building it was great practice for subsequent attempts (of which there were many).
During the summer of 2009, I began designing and building a small CNC I dubbed Shapeoko, named for the Shapeways 3D printing and Ponoko laser cutting services I used to create custom parts for the initial prototypes.
Two years later, I Kickstarted Project Shapeoko so I could share what I had learned through a long process of trial and error as I prototyped a $300 dead-simple CNC machine (.
As with Project Shapeoko, I wrote this book to flatten the CNC learning curve, kickstarting the readers own journey into CNC. But most of all, I want to share all of the things that I wished someone would have told me about CNC when I first started.
This book provides a basic overview of affordable, hobbyist-level computer-controlled routers. Its helpful to have a general understanding of how to draw on a computer, especially using 2D vector graphics, but no prior CNC knowledge or experience is requiredyou dont even need CNC access to complete the exercises in this book.
If youre a Maker who wants to learn what CNC machines are, how they work, and how to use them, but youve been intimidiated by the terminology or had no idea what questions to ask, then this book is for you!
Each chapter of Getting Started with CNC deals with a discrete topic, from the basics of computer-aided design to a deep dive into the meaning of individual G-codes.
Beginners should approach this book as a general introduction to desktop CNC routing and read it cover to cover. Those with CNC experience will still find it useful as a reference book, particularly .
Although Ive covered the CNC basics to get you started, this book is not all-inclusiveits just the first step into the world of CNC. After youve finished reading this book, consult , which lists additional resources that will help as you continue exploring and growing your skill set.
