Shopbot Jamboree

More than 100 cabinetmakers, designers, do-it-yourselfers, luthiers, boatbuilders, sign makers, plastic manufacturers and other CNC craftsmen and enthusiasts – known to each other as “ShopBotters” – converged on the towns of San Mateo and Foster City, CA for the sixth-annual ShopBot Jamboree. The reason for their meeting was twofold: to learn the ins and outs of ShopBot Tools’ new line of Personal Robotic Systems and to learn, from ShopBot staff, CNC professionals, software company representatives and each other, the ways in which ShopBots can help make CNC-based businesses more enjoyable and lucrative.

ShopBotters presented or participated in seminars and discussions that included topics such: as proper cutting bit selection, vacuum hold-down methods, prototyping, indexing and marketing your business. Attendees also had the opportunity to participate in a condensed version of ShopBot Basic Training or a ShopBotting for Women class, and the most creative minds brought their visions to life in the Box Design Contest.
