CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining significantly benefits from 3D modeling software, which is a crucial tool for these operations. This software facilitates the process for engineers and ...

Without shared standards, revolutions stall.” That lesson from the early RepRap era casts a long shadow over the current desktop manufacturing landscape, where a “Desktop Everything” ...

â CGTech presents Version 8 of its VERICUT software for simulation, verification, and optimization of various CNC-machine operations from composite-part drilling to water-jet cutting. The software ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

In this video, we explore the new software update for the X-Carve CNC, known as Easel 3D, which enables the adaptation of 3D printing files for use on the X-Carve. The project features a DIY Bluetooth ...
