Makerspace CNC

The Makerspace CNC Package was specifically developed to promote STEM skills. With the UNIMAT CNC machines, makers gain valuable hands-on experience in key fields like mechanical engineering, electronics, and computer science.

By combining manual operation with automated stepper motor control, users learn both the fundamentals of mechanical motion and the programming and control of CNC lathes and milling machines.

The set includes extensive materials and project-based templates – making it ideal for future-oriented applications in schools, vocational training, or hobby engineering.

UNIMAT CNC 4 axis milling project

Projects and ideas

The CNC Makerspace provides a hands-on introduction to the relationship between computer-aided design and the manufacturing of technical components. With modern CNC technology, even complex 3D models can be produced accurately and automatically.

A clear example is the production of a clamping block: This project combines STEM skills such as metrology, design, and computer science with actual CNC machining – from digital concept to finished part.

With the optional CNC rotary table, a classic 3-axis mill becomes a fully functional 4-axis CNC machine, enabling even more versatile machining options.

Material

A makerspace focused on CNC and metalworking requires not only powerful machines, but also the right materials to unlock their full potential.

The included material package enables the creation of a wide range of CNC models – from technical functional parts to creative project ideas. This ensures that every idea becomes a precise result.
