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 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining) is one of those specialised manufacturing processes that are traditionally expensive and ...

Hybrid manufacturing systems like DMG Mori's Lasertec 65 DED hybrid are starting to pop up here and there with the ability both to add metal via laser deposition 3D printing, and to subtract it via ...

Snapmaker is a versatile machine that combines 3D printing, laser engraving, and CNC capabilities in one device. This video ...

Over the last 13 days, more than 200 people have given money through Kickstarter to fund development of a handheld CNC machine. Over the last 13 days, more than 200 people have given money through ...

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 ...

With the new year still unfolding, observant manufacturers will want to keep an eye on the world of CNC machining, to be ready for and take advantage of the important developments emerging now. Here’s ...
