One of the original ideas behind the RepRap project was for the machines to create their own upgrades. That philosophy is shining brightly in [Ivan Miranda] CNC milling machine project, which has been ...

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.

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 ...

There is a volunteer community behind the open-source Voron 3d printer series, which has produced several high-performance – literally world-class – desktop 3d printers, and now it looks like another ...

There are no shortage of CNC machines in the DIY space these days, but sometimes you just need to do things your own way. That’s what [Chris Borges] decided when he put together this rock-solid, ...

The Ascarva 4S can also run G-code directly from its onboard controller via a 3.5-inch touchscreen interface and read job ...

3D printers are the appliance of choice for a new generation of makers keen to rapidly prototype straight from their computer. But many materials with which 3D printers can produce items have ...

What do you get when you combine additive and subtractive manufacturing? No, it’s not a math problem that adds up to zero, but rather an impressive-looking hybrid computer-controlled milling machine ...

If you’re in the market for a personal fabrication machine, you probably already know that your budget might allow for a 3D printer or a CNC machine, but not both, and an additional 3D scanner would ...

“The prototype of CNC Shaperoo 2025 was created as a successor to the Chinese CNC 3018 platform. The design was based on the assumption that the machine would have a similar workspace, but with ...

The automation of architectural design and rendering has been further accelerated by digital production tools. Tools such as 3D printers, assembly robots, and laser cutters, have all but perfected the ...
