# How do I book the CNC Router?

**All CNC Routing must be booked with a technician and files emailed. No drop in slots are available.** 

The CNC Routers are staff run by appointment. For any queries, specialist support or bookings please email **<a href="mailto:3dworkshop.lcc@arts.ac.uk" target="_top">3dworkshop.lcc@arts.ac.uk</a>**. When emailing to book it is helpful to have a file ready to send the Technician. This will allow us to give you a more accurate timescale.
 
When your file is ready the Technician will program the file through ArtCAM. ArtCAM is a software that tells the CNC router which tools to use, where to cut and other vital information. 
 
Please allow plenty of time for CNC projects.
