Shapeoko Manufacturing Process - Behind the Scenes at Carbide 3D

For anyone curious about how their CNC router is made, here’s a behind the curtain look at our operations in Sterling, IL. We machine a large majority of Shapeoko’s components in-house, and through the years we’ve developed some custom tools and processes we thought would be fun to showcase (like what I’m calling the “Fasten-oko”). Enjoy!

Where to get the files for that phantastic chair at 15 sec?

You can find the project file here: Carbide 3D Mid-Century Modern Chair by KevinBarnett

BUT, you’ll probably want to watch the video about the process and give some consideration to how you might want to customize it for your own needs and wants. You can check that out here: https://youtu.be/4cAnkpxUww8?si=ZpkW8ufjNsaOQZ-R

Wow! Piece of art… TY!

Great video. Thank you for making it.

Great video. Only one comment, you may want to fix the closed captioning (I know it was probably autogenerated by YouTube but…) The closed captioning spelled shapeoko differently everytime, not one (that I noticed) was the correct spelling. :flushed:

Thank you for posting this. I love the “is having a CNC put screws in overboard, yes, but we do it to keep the creativity going.”
