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 ...

As we’ve said in the past, one of the most exciting things about the proliferation of low-cost desktop 3D printers (beyond all the little boats we get to see on Reddit), is the fact that their motion ...

CNC routers are great but can be time consuming and overkill when you simply need to make a few simple cuts. This 3D router keeps your project moving forward and there's no software to fiddle with.

Technology is funny. What seems cutting-edge today will eventually be outdated and replaced by the “next big thing,” or a better version of the now-outdated thing. Vinyl records gave way to ...

Purdue’s new engineering laboratory will have six computer workstations, each capable of true 3D workpiece simulation without needing access to a CNC system. Purdue University’s College of Engineering ...

Like many CNC machines of this type, the Twotrees TTC450 Pro CNC router comes almost completely built, with only a few ...

CNC machining is a common subtractive manufacturing technology. Unlike a 3D printing service, the process typically begins with a solid block of material (blank) and removes material to achieve the ...
