• CardCam is low cost, and allows students to discover what CAMs can DO, rather than struggling to make them work

What it can do…

• Students construct the CardCam base and then use it to animate their own designs

• CardCam can be layered so more than one CAM mechanism is running off one crank handle, giving students the option to develop more complicated mechanisms
