Key Takeaway: PenguinCAM replaces scary, error-prone, and time-consuming CAM tools from your manufacturing process.

A CNC router should not be more difficult than a laser cutter or 3D printer. Now it isn’t. Introducing a new CAM tool built just for FRC teams. Literally one minute from CAD to cutting. No fear. No more dozens of things to remember and hundreds to ignore. I’ll explain why I built it, how my team approaches design and manufacturing, demo the tool live, and lead a discussion about what features FRC teams need and especially which ones they don’t.
