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 ...

Mooz is aiming to fill in the gap between cheap, flimsy home 3D printers and expensive industrial gear with a modular all-in-one design offering interchangeable heads providing the ability to easily ...

Yes, you can whip up a design for a printed circuit board, send it out to one of the many fab houses, and receive a finished, completed board in a week or two. There are quick-turn assembly houses ...

In this video, we explore the new software update for the X-Carve CNC, known as Easel 3D, which enables the adaptation of 3D ...

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.

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 ...

CNC or 3D printing? Why not both? Hybrid approaches combine subtractive and additive manufacturing processes to deliver precise outputs at greater speeds. In this piece, we’ll break down the basics of ...

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 ...

Rapid Fusion will launch a deployable hybrid manufacturing system that can be set up in 25 minutes at Formnext next week. Following the launch of its 3-in-1 Medusa system earlier this year, Rapid ...

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 ...
