i2R A Series CNC A24 Educational Package – 610 x 1220 mm with Safety Enclosure & Aspire 3D Software
Designed specifically for schools and training environments, the i2R A Series CNC A24 Educational Package delivers industrial-quality CNC machining in a safe, compact and classroom-ready format. This package includes the robust A24 CNC router, Aspire 3D design and toolpath software, and the i2R CNC Safety Enclosure – AB24 for enhanced operational safety and peace of mind in educational settings.
With a working area of 610 x 1220 mm, the A24 comfortably accommodates standard-width sheet materials, making it ideal for student projects in woodworking, design, engineering and STEM programs. Its solid steel frame and cast aluminium gantry ensure long-term durability and consistent accuracy under daily use.
Complete with i2R Safety Enclosure – AB24
Included in this package is the i2R CNC Safety Enclosure – AB24, a purpose-built safety solution that fully encloses the CNC router. Constructed from high quality aluminium extrusion and clear polycarbonate panels, the enclosure reduces dust, contains noise, and provides visual protection while keeping the machine clearly visible for supervision and instruction. It also features lockable access doors, supporting both WHS compliance and a tidy, functional learning environment.
Software included – Aspire - 3D Software by Vectric with Multi-user Educational License!
The A24 comes bundled with Aspire software, a leading CNC design and toolpath package known for its user-friendly interface and powerful features. Widely adopted in schools and training facilities, Aspire allows students to design in 2D and 2.5D as well as complex 3D Modeling, 3D Model Segmenting, as well ast generating toolpaths, and export ready-to-run G-Code. It bridges the gap between CAD design and practical CNC operation—making it a core tool in any CNC curriculum.
