MAKE SANTA FE

MAKE SANTA FE had a small CNC machine -- apparently an older version of the NOMAD 3. So we asked them to CNC something into linoleum that we could print during the event:

MAKE SANTA FE

Cutting down linoleum

Working the CNC

"Carving" with a CNC

Then we inked the small CNCed linoleum

Placing paper over the CNCed linoleum

CNCed by MAKE SANTA FE
