Of course, this modification isn’t 3D printing metal. It convers a 3D printer’s CNC capabilities to turn it into a machining tool that uses electrochemical machining (ECM).

We’re no strangers to [Ivan]’s work and this time he’s building a relatively small CNC machine using extrusion, 3D printed parts, and a Makita router. The plans are available at a… ...

The rotational speed of the WMU CNC machining steps are slow compared to traditional CNC machining, which limits “wear and tear,” reducing device downtime and maintenance costs. Due to the ...

The Meltio Engine giveth, and it taketh away. It's a production-grade manufacturing system that attaches to any CNC machine or robot arm, and it allows you to add metal through laser deposition ...

But this CNC mill, sold by Wilson’s organization known as Defense Distributed for $1,200, is designed to create one object in particular: the component of an AR-15 rifle known as its lower receiver.

3D printing objects using metal is a well-established technique, but it tends to be too complex, expensive, or imprecise to match traditional methods at scale. Armed with $14 million from Nvidia ...

A CNC cutter is a thermal cutting tool that uses a plasma torch to cut various metals producing clean and accurate cuts. “I use it to make computer-generated metal signs,” said Reed.

It was at the request of their customers that they expanded to include CNC machining, described as a way to take a piece of metal and remove material out of it as compared to 3D printing that adds ...
