3D printers are ubiquitous now, but they’re still prohibitively expensive for some people. Some printers cost thousands, but even more inexpensive options aren’t exactly cheap. [Daniel] decided that ...

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 ...

Snapmaker is a versatile machine that combines 3D printing, laser engraving, and CNC capabilities in one device. This video ...

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 ...

A new all-in-one 3D printer and CNC machine has been created by Xcustom3D offering a build area of 500 x 500 x 500mm for your 3D prints and CNC machining. Watch the demonstration video below to learn ...

Following on from yesterday’s announcement that the new Snapmaker 3D printer, laser engraver, and desktop CNC machine would be launching on Kickstarter today. The campaign is now live with systems ...

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 ...

The Computer Numerical Controls (CNC) market is set to grow due to the demand of production efficiency. CNC machines have been a staple of manufacturers but they are now being paired with automation ...

Creative hobbyists, get ready for a glow-up. Here are my predictions for 3D printers, laser engravers and more.
