Maker Faire Milwaukee 2025

CNC Fabrication for Robotics

Home: Wisconsin, United States of America

The GEarheads are an FTC robotics team that is focused on building technical skills for design and fabrication, we will highlight three CNC router platforms we have constructed. We will demonstrate the use of one open source CNC router, share information on how you can build one, and demonstrate using the CNC. We will showcase building the hardware as well as the CAD and software tools used to operate it. We will also show an example FTC competition robot that used a CNC router to construct many of it parts and be giving opportunities for visitors to drive this robot.
