Using the Shopbot
To use the Shopbot you need to contact ad:mt employee Mads Brath, who will assist you in preparing your 3D models or CAD drawings and help with the setup and operation of the Shopbot.
To prepare a line or surface based model for milling, we use either the accompanying software called Partworks or the Rhinoceros plugin RhinoCam – both programs can open most of the standard CAD files.
Booking and prices
The Shopbot will be booked by the workshop staff and in the booking system you can see the availability of the Shopbot, but not make any bookings yourself. If you’re a first time user of the booking system you need to register before being able to see the bookings. When registering it is very important that all the “required fields” are filled in correctly (the administrator will delete accounts that aren’t) as these fields are needed in the payment procedure which uses the personal printing account (used for normal printing at the institute) to charge for all bookings.
The following chart shows the price for using the Shopbot:
