The 3 axis MicroCNC milling machine allows students to understand how G codes are used to control a CNC operated milling machine.  The three stepper motors and DC  motor connect to our CNC system controller hardware to allow full control of the miller using the G code file host software.  Students can use the hardware and software to see how each G code command affects the machine operation and create complex work pieces from PU blocks or acrylic pieces.
