RP3d has created an affordable yet comprehensive desktop CNC milling machine called the MicroMill which is now available to back with pledges starting from £649 and shipping expected to take place ...

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 ...

We know that by this point in the development of CNC technology, nothing should amaze us. We’ve seen CNC machines perform feats of precision that shouldn’t be possible, whether it be milling a complex ...

“The prototype of CNC Shaperoo 2025 was created as a successor to the Chinese CNC 3018 platform. The design was based on the assumption that the machine would have a similar workspace, but with ...

Precision milling has always been locked behind a "members only" sign – giant machines that take up massive warehouse space, cost more than your first car, and hum like an old air compressor 24 hours ...

Until 2016, it was impossible to incorporate a femtosecond laser—an ultra-short pulse duration laser—onto a 5-axis machine. This was first realized by the Swiss group Georg Fischer in 2016, thereby ...

Engineers at the Northern Illinois University College of Engineering and Engineering Technology have created an inexpensive micro-milling machine. Engineers at the Northern Illinois University (NIU) ...

The question is: how to ‘cnc’ a manual Sieg X1 milling machine – the so called ‘micro mill’ that comes out in so many guises including the Clarke CMD10 featured here, available from Machine Mart, but ...

It’s a well-shared sentiment that paving companies do not like to see another companies’ machine in front of them running the mill while they’re doing the paving. Add that to the fact that many paving ...

Modern milling machines look much the same as they did 30 years ago. However, they now must cut superalloys, titanium, and high-tensile steels to closer tolerances and at faster rates than before. To ...
