A CNC (computer numerical control) machine is a motorized maneuverable tool and often a  platform, which are both controlled by a computer, according to specific input instructions.

Instructions are delivered to the CNC machine in the form of a sequential set of machine control instructions (G-code), then executed. Often, the program is generated by computer-aided design (CAD) software or computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software. In the case of 3D printers, the part to be printed is "sliced" before the instructions (or the program) are generated.

A 3D printer is essentially a robot glue gun. It extrudes molten plastic through a tiny nozzle that moves precisely under computer control. It heats the material and prints completed pieces one layer at a time.

The 300x is simple mounting of some screws, and plugging in a few cables. It can be done in a half hour or less. You can find a step-by-step guide and additional set-up information on our 3DP Resources Page.

Our 3D printers are very user friendly! Our 300x was made with both newbies and seasoned users in mind. The 300x can be set up and begin printing in under an hour. It includes intuitive user modes from beginner to expert. It’s made for users who want extra guidance, are using the machine for education, or are in total control of the firmware.

All of our kits come with the open source Makerverse software. Makerverse is our control platform you can use to upload your design files, and manage your cuts.

Makerverse is an open-source software for controlling automated manufacturing tools such as CNC machines and 3D printers.  It was built by the Maker Made team for use with both our own tools, as well as those made by other brands, and is intended to offer an accessible entry point to new CNC users.

If you are designing your own files, we recommend Easel, which is free to download.
