Iain Campbell is CNC Manager at Upper Canada Stretchers where he oversees the production of custom panels and structures for artists around the globe. A retired mechanical engineer he cut his first CNC project 40 years ago and has since built expertise in blending design with advanced fabrication. His 25 years as an IBM Technical Trainer sharpened his ability to make complex systems clear and approachable whether teaching shell scripting Python SQL or digital workflows. Author of Reliable Linux (Wiley & Sons 2002) Iain brings the same clarity and precision to his V-Carve instruction — guiding learners through design setup toolpaths and the skills needed to confidently turn digital ideas into physical creations.
