Meet Maslow, the $350 CNC Cutting Machine

We welcome Bar Smith and Hannah Teagle to show us their Maslow CNC cutting machine, which comes in a $350 kit. This CNC uses an upright design to hold a 4x8 foot sheet of plywood, and is completely open source. We talk about the goals of the Maslow CNC project and what kind of big things it can make!

that presenter is really good. he asks real questions. in all his videos he asks exactly the questions that should be asked.Clearly an engineer himself.

I can't believe some of the comments. These are two young people with a passion for creating a new product and with a little luck, put a few bucks in their pocket. They are both adorable. I intend to Buy one. Support their dream.

[DustyKorpse]

wish more people thought like them: "how far can this be developed" rather than "how much money can i make from this". well done guys, hats off to you. 😊

Have been wanting a large bed CNC for years. What an exciting project!! Can't wait until these go into production!!

[magicbazzo]

Love it! This will make full size CNC routers available for almost every designer.

i can't believe i haven't seen this! subbed to the notification squad AND i'm an original kickstarter backer, but this video completely skipped my radar! should be arriving soon. cool to see Bar and Hannah get the recognition and appreciation they deserve for this, and running an incredible campaign in general. can't wait to CNC!

[mmitchellhouston]

I'm impressed. This would be PERFECT for people who want to do custom cutout decorations for holidays.

[krsslim]

Love the spirit involved with open source projects like this :).

[faustobartra]

the best idea I have seen in many years. You guys are the best...

This CNC made me tingle all over my body. Would be perfect for building a boat. Either stitch and glue plywood, or converted with a plasma cutter to cut the sheet metal for a small steel boat or something. There's no end to the possibilities!

[baltsosser]

You got me really excited when you said $350, and designed to work with plywood. I love making wooden sailboats. I can see an immediate project application for this. I could make small tweaks, cut them, and try it out. That is amazing. I see this in my wood shop in the future. Strong work folks!

That's so cool. It's kinda like a delta 3D printer, but the third "arm" is just gravity.

Also I thought that was Simone from the thumbnail.

[philsaunders]

That is without doubt the coolest power tool I've ever seen. Well done for thinking outside the box - this solution would never have occurred to me - and I've improvised more than a few special purpose tools in my time!

[jimdigriz]

To the guys @Maslow CNC, I gotta say, that is very ingenious, good luck guys in your excellent idea and project and I'll be certainly having a look at your website as that looks fun with loads of possibilities, and luckily for me, my brother is a design engineer, and I can see us having some fun with this.

[DPrintingNerd]

This is pretty cool and I would totally rock one of these things in my garage! That said, wood in it's native form is a tree, not a 4x8 sheet ;)

[harrymartin]

Absolutely beautiful. Way better than the 3D printed option I built that takes hundred of printing hours.

[gonun]

Damn that looks awesome. I'm already trying to figure out where I'm going to put it.

[jeffrp]

How awesome are you guys, a cnc for less than the router you put on it. One for the people so selfless. Props to you.

[pi]

You inventors are AWESOME people! Loved your video!! Loved your ideas!!! It gives me hope that I may be able to actually buy a CNC machine someday. Thank you for doing this video. A vertical CNC machine - who woulda thought!!!

[justfly]

What's cool is that at a glance you can see this thing is genius. And then when you take a more detailed look many of the small implementations are genius too. Well done!
