Kickstarter Campaign Success – Bozeman’s Pocket NC – The first 5 axis CNC mill for your desktop.

The Pocket NC http://www.pocketnc.com/blog/ is a 5 axis desktop CNC mill.

Now let’s break down exactly what that means:

Milling Machine: Today, most people are familiar with the concept of 3D printing which is an additive manufacturing process. The part is built up from the base by adding a layer of material at a time. Milling is a subtractive process where material is removed from a solid piece of stock using a sharp tool to reveal the part inside.

CNC: CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control. This means that the machine is controlled by a series of codes and numbers output by a computer. These codes can either be output by software, or written line-by-line in a text file. For more information on the software you need, keep reading.
