Anyone interested in a whole lot of fun mixed with a little training?

The3rdAnnualCNC Jamboree willbe held at The Learning Center @ Linlee, Lexington, Kentucky, theweekend of September 5th,6thand 7th,2014. We will have classroom training all day Friday, Saturday and'Shop Day' on Sunday, a day for making projects, sharing techniques,demonstrating machines and sharing all manner of closely guarded secrets.

Whatis a CNC Jamboree?Westarted out like a lot of you as hobbyist CNCers and in time becamevery serious about the craft, art, use and function of CNC equipment.Our goal here at CNC Jamboree is to offer affordable and valuabletraining to everyone. To share new hardware and software andintroduce you to patterns and projects that will blow your mind. Wewill also share machine demos that will help you realize what afinely tuned and maintained CNC machine is capable of. The sky is no longer the limit.

“I learned a ton last year and am looking forward to even greater exchange of information this year!” –Scott Smith

Whatis a CNC Machine?Wellyou can use all kinds of techno jargon when it comes to this, but wechoose to stay away from that and just say it like this: CNC is anydevice that is controlled by a computer. It could be a router, alaser, and embroidery machine, a long arm quilter (the list reallydoes go on forever). Any number of things fit into this category.

Whocan benefit from a CNC Jamboree?Anyone!In today's World CNC has become very affordable to hobbyists,artists, co-ops and small woodworking shops. It is no longer limitedto large production facilities. The piece that was missing?Affordable training. We intend to fill that void, and our training will appeal to novice as well as expert users.

Weknow that the initial cost can be low and people sometimes get caughtup in the excitement of just taking a machine home and they leave itcaptive in the box (you people know who you are). It is our goal to empower you with the knowledge and skills required to make worth while projects, to set your machine and your imagination free, to feel the power of creativity and unleash it onto the World.

"What is Digital Fabber?" You might be asking yourself …“Who, or what is Digital Fabber”? In addition to being aninformational website (blog/e-zine), (www.DigitalFabber.com (http://www.DigitalFabber.com)) is anonline Magazine of sorts. A place where we share all of the latest tech (hardware, software, substrates, finishes), Build Blogs, Digital Patterns and Project Plans, all of the training videos we can find and so much more.

We also provide an online community (www.DigitalFabber.com/community (http://www.DigitalFabber.com/community)).It provides a single location to gather and chat, post to forums,browse photo and video galleries, and educate yourself or others on what a fabber is and does…

"t3IR"... Welcome to the Third Industrial Revolution. Whatis a Fabber? A fabber (short for “digital fabricator”) is a“factory in a box” that makes things automatically from digitaldata. Fabbers generate three-dimensional, solid objects you can holdin your hands, submit to testing, or assemble into workingmechanisms. They are used by manufacturers around the world forlow-volume production, prototyping, and mold mastering. They are also used by scientists and surgeons for solid imaging, and by a few modern artists for innovative computerized sculpture. Manufacturers report enormous productivity gains from using fabbers.
