The Fab Lab employs dozens of TA's who are available to offer assistance during scheduled hours. Students who wish to make use of the CNC capabilities at the GSD are expected to make a good faith effort to learn the basics of the process, but mastery is in no way required. Additionally, skillful CNC machining takes time and patience to learn. Like much professional software, MasterCAM is complex and bulky, overloaded with seldom used features, and sports an un-intuitive user interface. The most common language for this instruction set is G-code. nc file extension) contains a list of coordinates that the machine must follow in order to excavate the desired form from the stock material. These paths are translated into machine-readable instructions through a process called posting. CAM applications use input geometry alongside machine+tool+stock definitions and user-specified parameters to generate a set of curves called tool paths. MasterCAM is a software suite of Computer Aided Machining (CAM) applications developed by CNC Software, Inc. MasterCAM 2020 now features the ability to import geometry from Rhino V6.
