CNC machines have become a core part of modern manufacturing, shaping how products are designed, built, and refined across ...

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 ...

What exactly is computer-numerical-controlled (CNC) machining? It’s a means to make parts by removing material via high-speed, precision robotic machines that use an array of cutting tools to create ...

CNC might seem like magic. After all, an engineer need only design a part, send it through some CAM software, and then let the CNC machine do it’s thing and automatically cut a part. But that’s not ...

We recently gave you some tips on purchasing your first milling machine, but what we didn’t touch on was CNC (Computer Numerical Control) systems for milling machines (or other machines, like lathes).

Humans had to carry out all their machining processes by hand for centuries. Even precision tools had to be maneuvered very carefully, inch by inch, by people holding the devices personally. That all ...

Companies in today’s market require fast turnarounds and quality parts for their applications. Their vendor sources, whether local machine shops or digital manufacturers of CNC machined parts must ...

A lot of homebrew CNC machines end up being glorified plotters with a router attached that are good for little more than milling soft materials like wood and plastic. So if you have a burning need to ...

Entrepreneur Bre Pettis and Berkeley-based Other Machine seem like a match made in heaven. The MakerBot founder has been through the ringer once already, leaving the company he co-founded and ran ...
