The Onefinity is a CNC router. It is used for precision-carving of wood, acrylic, soft metals and other materials. Onefinity generously discounted this unit through a Makerspace support program they offered to Hacksburg. A CNC router processes "G-code" to tell it where in X,Y,Z space to go, how fast, and in what order. The essence of the process is to first create a model or design (CAD, STL, Thingiverse, Inkscape), then convert that design into G-code. The G-code is transfered to the router controller on a thumb drive, and the router controller executes that code to completion. | The Onefinity is a CNC router.
