Multi-user computer-numerically-controlled machine

A non-transitory computer-readable medium, wherein the non-transitory computer-readable medium is provisioned with program instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause a first client device to:

• receive image data captured by a computer-numerically-controlled (CNC) machine, the image data depicting a first material positioned within an interior space defined by a housing of the CNC machine;
• receive user input indicating a design to be fabricated on the first material;
• transmit a command for the CNC machine to execute a first set of instructions to deliver electromagnetic energy to the first material and thereby fabricate the design on the first material;
• after transmitting the command, receive an indication that the CNC machine is unavailable to execute the first set of instructions because the CNC machine is currently executing a second set of instructions received from a second client device;
• receive updated image data captured by the CNC machine depicting the first material after the CNC machine has completed executing the second set of instructions;
• and
• after receiving the updated image data, cause the CNC machine to, when available, execute a third set of instructions and thereby fabricate the design on the first material or a second material.

A method implemented by a first client device, the method comprising:

• receiving image data captured by a computer-numerically-controlled (CNC) machine, the image data depicting a first material positioned within an interior space defined by a housing of the CNC machine;
• receiving user input indicating a design to be fabricated on the first material;
• transmitting a command for the CNC machine to execute a first set of instructions to deliver electromagnetic energy to the first material and thereby fabricate the design on the first material;
• after transmitting the command, receiving an indication that the CNC machine is unavailable to execute the first set of instructions because the CNC machine is currently executing a second set of instructions received from a second client device;
• receiving updated image data captured by the CNC machine depicting the first material after the CNC machine has completed executing the second set of instructions;
• and
• after receiving the updated image data, causing the CNC machine to, when available, execute a third set of instructions and thereby fabricate the design on the first material or a second material.
