Re: CNC Mill

Our team recently required a Haas CNC Mill, an while it's taking us a while to work the machine to it's full potential, it looks to help us greatly in the future. Now, If 45k is out of your budget and you want to start small, I recently found a 3D printer called the FABotum. It has a built in Mill, along with a laser scanner for projects and an engraver (icing on the cake). Anyway, I believe it would be a great way to start your CNC team and move from there. We are looking to buy another 3D printer, and at only $1,000 this is a steal.

I'm sure there are other options out there, so look around a little bit. Definatly worth it. Hope I was of assistance!
