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.

Mooz is aiming to fill in the gap between cheap, flimsy home 3D printers and expensive industrial gear with a modular all-in-one design offering interchangeable heads providing the ability to easily ...

D printing is getting less finicky in 2026. New materials, machines, and software are cutting setup times and making high-quality prints easier.

3D printers are built for additive manufacturing. However, at heart, they are really just simple CNC motion platforms, and can be readily repurposed to other tasks. As [Arseniy] demonstrates, it’s not ...

MIT researchers have devised new tech that can 3D print entire complex machines with moving parts in a matter of hours.

As we’ve said in the past, one of the most exciting things about the proliferation of low-cost desktop 3D printers (beyond all the little boats we get to see on Reddit), is the fact that their motion ...

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 ...

Snapmaker is a versatile machine that combines 3D printing, laser engraving, and CNC capabilities in one device. This video provides an in-depth look at the strengths and weaknesses of the Snapmaker ...

An extremely affordable 3D printer and all-in-one desktop fabrication system that allows you to laser engrave, CNC carve as well as 3D print, has been launched this week via Kickstarter with pledges ...

Building hot rods remained basically the same for decades, with tried-and-true “old school” methods being used to create increasingly complex builds. Computers really changed the game, allowing things ...

One of the long-touted possibilities of 3D printing (also known as rapid prototyping and additive manufacturing) has been for the military to make replacement parts and repairs tools for machines and ...

An updated edition of the January 27, 2026 article. 3D Printing, also known as additive manufacturing, has fundamentally reshaped product design and fabrication. Since its emergence in the 1980s, this ...
