D printers are built for additive manufacturing. However, at heart, they are really just simple CNC motion platforms, and can ...

The idea of a single robot that can transform into three different machines sounds like science fiction, but it is already ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Developers, makers and hobbyists that enjoy building projects using the Arduino platform, might be interested in this new Arduino powered 3D printer and CNC machine called the Buildersbot. The ...
