Learn to design custom parts for your dream car. 3D Modelling & CAD course. Now 50% OFF: [ Ссылка ]

Designing your parts is only one piece of the puzzle. Having them made is an entirely different animal.

Why would you consider a desktop CNC machine? Would it be worth the investment over a 3D printer, and how long would it take to pay itself off? Bantam Tools Rob Lorentzen runs us through some CNC milling basics about their (currently) $6,500 USD desktop CNC milling machine to help us understand if this is an investment that may or may not suit our fabrication goals or even our wider local car community.

We also dive a little into what CAM (computer-aided manufacturing) is when it comes to learning how to set tool paths and more, as well as some material options for prototyping and finished products.

This product integrates well with software like Fusion 360 and is ready to go out of the box with minimal maintenance required so long as you keep it within the recommended operational window (not hard to do).
