It's pretty amazing what can be accomplished using the power, repeatability and precision of modern CNC equipment - take for instance the Giant Magellan Telescope being built right now to be released in 2020. Very much an awesome demonstration of...
Printing my latest two models for CNCKing.com, I was reminded at how important it is to test 3D printed models before buying them yourself. This Simple Medieval Walls project was done to test several features but the most important was...
Supercomputers are amazing, I got access to one and downloaded my entire FaceBook posting history and told it to make a word cloud of the most common terms found and the results look very nice - if I didn't already...
If you like building things, it's worth your time to learn all you can about CNC. For it truly is the king of tools. Who wrote these amazing words? Not me... but Ben Heck! Why am I quoting him here...

This article was originally written for a buyer's guide here in Australia. Trotec Laser was kind enough to allow me to share this with the world here on CNCKingdom.com for others to use. The purchase of a laser system is...
My 3D Systems Cube can't print using transparent material but the beauty of 3D modeling is that it doesn't need to, I can render it with any material I wish! I wanted to test a concept out (see video below)...
I know, these two guys don't exactly improve our image of geek dancing but hey, Lasers Are Crazy! Thanks for the heads-up Trotec Laser Canada! Lyrics: Lasers are crazy Shine through the hazy Lasers are crazy Shine through the hazy...
When I first got the 3D Systems Cube, I was very happy that the very first project I designed worked so well... I was sure it was going to have trouble but my 3D Printed Egyptian Pyramid came out great!...
What should you do when you design a butt ugly CNC model? Below is what took me days to design for CNCKing.com - I spent a lot of effort but even after all that time, the results were just ugly......
