Interesting little machine, to be sure. I’d like to see more about the mounting system for the wall and ceiling work he alluded to, though. Sitting flat like that, you might as well just use a standard CNC router. The big thing that stands in its way is the software. He mentioned a drive for developers to make simplified apps for it, and I think that’s absolutely necessary.
The learning curve for traditional CAD/CAM is very steep. Things like V-carving, as the machine was doing in the video, are fairly easy, but when you start doing reliefs, it gets hard in a hurry. Customers will demand more than a simple catalog of basic designs, so the software is key to delivering what they want. Otherwise, you wind up depending on CNC programmers, and they’re not exactly common or cheap.
