My longboard in Mastercam. In here we set up how the CNC machine will end up cutting out the design that's placed in the center of our longboards. You can also see my board in AutoCAD in the picture above, we trace our design from a picture of our choice to create the design, then input it into Mastercam where it programs it to be cut.
In Mastercam, you can watch how the CNC machine will cut out your board. The video will show the way that the machine moves and it will also tell/show you if there are any problems in the way your design will be cut so you can fix them before cutting.

I was super happy with the way my board turned out and how much I got to learn in this class, it's amazing seeing what you can turn a basic piece of wood into with a little patience and time. It was a ton of fun and I'd recommend it to anyone.
