CNC Machining

Great time lapse video of a human face being milled from a block of metal. Hopefully we will get a few years of widely available mass customization before the T-1000’s rise.

CNC Embroidering

These CNC sewing machines are the first machines to give home users the ability to create products equal to store bought articles. The hardware is fully developed now the software needs to mature a bit.

Laser Cutter

Nice overview of the laser cutting process. Great video, but he couldn’t laser up a star to top off the tree rather than a wing nut?

3D Printer

One of the coolest things about 3D printers is designing pieces that have built in hinges, rotary components, or other moving parts. Not super useful, but it is cool to pull a functional pieces out of a mass of powder.

3D Scanning

A UK firm plays with a 3D scanner and scans faces, bread, and balls of twine.
