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.

Most CNC workflows start with a 3D model, which is then passed to CAM software to be converted into the G-code language that CNC machines love and understand. G-code, however, is simple enough that ...

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 ...

In this second installment of our "Intro to CNC" series, we dive into the essentials of programming CNC machining from a drawing. Learn how to translate technical drawings into precise machine code, ...

Snapmaker is an upcoming Kickstarter project with a lofty goal: to be the holy trinity for at-home makers by using detachable modules to convert between a 3D printer, a CNC carver, and a laser ...
