5 axis desktop machine Kickstarter
« on: September 20, 2014, 09:51:42 AM »
Hi everyone,

We have been working on a 5 axis desktop machine with a large working volume and capability to use different tool heads: from milling spindle to 3d printing head to touch probe.

We are launching a Kickstarter campaign on September 22nd to fund the last stage of development.
If you are interested in this project please take a look at our video and website.

This machine uses Mach3 controller and we are developing a CAM script in Grasshopper that works on Rhino. The script is free and open source you can download current version from our website ( you need both Rhino3d and Grasshopper to run it ).

We would appreciate any comments or questions from the community.
