The CNC mill is the foundation of most modern machine shops, and it’s usually the tool with the most demands competing for its time. This means making tough choices when small-volume parts are needed.

3D Printers have come down significantly in price over the past few years. Nowadays it is even possible to get a 3D printer kit for between $200-300. It’s arguable how well these inexpensive printers ...

The Snapmaker Artisan is a machine like no other, with the three-in-one design enabling quick swaps between machine types. The CNC and Laser are both relatively low-powered but good enough for most ...

A new all-in-one 3D printer and CNC machine has been created by Xcustom3D offering a build area of 500 x 500 x 500mm for your 3D prints and CNC machining. Watch the demonstration video below to learn ...

3D printers are ubiquitous now, but they’re still prohibitively expensive for some people. Some printers cost thousands, but even more inexpensive options aren’t exactly cheap. [Daniel] decided that ...

MIT students have created a portable factory for rapid prototyping, fitting a 3D printer and a CNC milling machine inside an ordinary briefcase. MIT students have created a portable factory for rapid ...

Snapmaker is an upcoming Kickstarter project with a lofty goal: to be the holy trinity for at-home makers by using detachable modules to convert between a 3D printer, a CNC carver, and a laser ...

Medium-sized cnc machines, which I am defining as those using NEMA 23 and 24 motors, need about 5A per stepper, usually mandating separate driver modules alongside a control board. However, 3d printer ...
