Grinding out copper is one way to create a printed circuit board, and low-cost CNC milling machines have improved to the point where it’s possible for many. How milling machines can be used to create ...

Using computer-aided design, 3D printing builds an item up layer by layer in a very precise fashion. Initially, plastics and metal powders were used as the feedstock for the process, but now resins, ...

Brooklyn design agency Standard Issue has created an open-source design for a face mask that can be CNC-cut and produced on a large scale. Standard Issue's product, called One Mask, is designed so it ...

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 ...

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, ...

Badges come in all shapes and sizes, but a badge that draws on a stack of Post-It notes is definitely a new one. The design uses three of the smallest, cheapest hobby servos reasonably available and ...
