CAM Jam!

Don’t let the name fool you, while the end goal is more folks who can whip up their own CAM jobs this meetup targets ALL aspects of Free

CAD! Want to level up your 3D printing game and design your own stuff, even multi-color? Have a cabinet or furniture build that you’d really like to nail down before putting saw to wood? Proficient in Fusion 360 or another CAD program and want to make the leap to our preferred FOSS solution? Have that elusive Nibbler

BOT 101 under your belt and not sure where to go from there? For all those and more let’s get together and figure it out! This meetup will evolve but at the very least we’ll share tips, tricks, and other resources among ourselves. We’ll help each other over humps in our own working designs that we’re stuck on. Our resident Free

CAD maintainer Billy can give us the scoop on the latest changes in the pipeline for Free

CAD. Occasionally we could do a CAD-a-long with a pre-selected project to walk folks through a simple design from start to finish. Those are just some opening ideas, share your own in the Free

CAD or CNC channels! Whether you’re brand spanking new and need help installing Free

CAD or perhaps a bit seasoned and have some knowledge nuggets to share with the rest of us **ALL skill levels are welcome**! And while not necessary, having a laptop with Free

CAD loaded would be helpful (there are a limited number of shop laptops with Free

CAD installed). Check out the [Free

CAD wiki](https://wiki.knoxmakers.org/FreeCAD) for details on the current version we’re using as well as other details.
