CNC mills will never match real heavy metal mills on hard materials, but that won’t stop people from pushing the limits of these DIY machines. One of the usual suspects, [Ivan Miranda] is at it again, ...

Combining additive and subtractive manufacturing in one machine is on the rise. From Mebotics' Kickstarter project for an all-in-one 3D printing/etching/milling machine we told you about last year, to ...

While 3D printing has revolutionized prototyping and manufacturing in specific applications, it still is impossible to swap out CNC machining or injection molding with a different process. However, ...

Hybrid manufacturing systems like DMG Mori's Lasertec 65 DED hybrid are starting to pop up here and there with the ability both to add metal via laser deposition 3D printing, and to subtract it via ...

Sacrificial parts are where a 3D printer really earns its keep.

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 ...

The test object was a curved concrete seating step, weighing around 650 kg. The completed casting mold combined the printed wax sections, used for the complex surfaces, with ordinary plywood for ...

Discover how advanced technologies like 3D printing and CNC milling revolutionize the preservation of fragile cultural ...

There are no shortage of CNC machines in the DIY space these days, but sometimes you just need to do things your own way. That’s what [Chris Borges] decided when he put together this rock-solid, ...
