Carter Forbush (senior) is learning CAD design, where he creates digital models on the computer. For this project he used a CNC router—a computer-controlled cutting machine—to bring it to life. CNC routers are highly precise tools used for milling, engraving, and carving materials such as wood, metal, and plastic.
UPDATE!! We have a State Champ at The U!
