Now that Martin has finished teaching, he has time for amongst other things to programme and operate a ShopBot CNC Router.

This satisfies his problem solving urges and allows him to practice his 2D and 3D CAD techniques.

As outlined elsewhere on these pages Martin uses AutoSketch for his 2D drawings and Google SketchUp for his 3D modelling.

To produce the Part File Cutter Paths for the ShopBot Martin uses PartWorks and Vectric vCarve Pro
