Students are introduced to the basic elements of computer-aided drafting, such as arcs, lines, rectangles, text and circles. Students use polar, relative and absolute coordinates to construct various designs and broaden their learning experience.

Once students have created their CAD drawings, spectraCAD Engraver’s unique engraving feature enables them to easily and quickly generate NC files.

The package includes an engraving tool set and name badge milling stock so that students can produce their NC programs on a CNC milling machine if one exists in the lab.
