“In this tutorial we will learn how to build an Arduino CNC foam cutting machine. This is a typical DIY CNC machine because it’s made out of simple and cheap materials, some 3D printed parts ...

For controlling the motors, an Arduino Uno and CNC stepper shield was used. The arm is operated from a computer with a GUI written in Processing, which sends instructions to the Arduino over serial.

Developers, makers and hobbyists that enjoy building projects using the Arduino platform, might be interested in this new Arduino powered 3D printer and CNC machine called the Buildersbot.
