ShopBot® CNC Router

Always a popular elective among Gloucester High students, the Cabinet Innovation and Design program received a 21st-century boost from a GEF grant that enabled the program to acquire the ShopBot® digital router, technology that is challenging students to apply their skills in algebra, geometry, computer science and design to crafting beautiful creations in wood.

Using integrated software, students design their creation on a computer.  Utilizing this design, the ShotBot precisely cuts, carves, drill and machines the wood, enabling students to plan and design a project and experience the satisfaction a tangible end result in producing their original creations.
