â CGTech presents Version 8 of its VERICUT software for simulation, verification, and optimization of various CNC-machine operations from composite-part drilling to water-jet cutting. The software ...

Without shared standards, revolutions stall.” That lesson from the early RepRap era casts a long shadow over the current desktop manufacturing landscape, where a “Desktop Everything” ...

Most CNC workflows start with a 3D model, which is then passed to CAM software to be converted into the G-code language that CNC machines love and understand. G-code, however, is simple enough that ...

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 ...

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 ...

Carve CNC, known as Easel 3D, which enables the adaptation of 3D printing files for use on the X-Carve. The project features a DIY Bluetooth Horn Speaker created using this software.

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.

Superficially, it is easy to think about converting a 3D printer into a CNC machine. After all, they both do essentially the same thing. They move a tool around in three dimensions. Reducing this to ...

How milling machines can be used to create simple PCBs. Challenges of using low-cost solutions. Higher-end alternatives. One challenge with focusing on the latest high-tech solutions is that with so ...
