Despite its namesake, this has to be one of the smallest CNC machines you will ever lay your eyes on. The Goliath CNC, unlike most other CNCs, isn’t fastened to the floor or destined for a dedicated space. Quite the opposite in fact. The Goliath CNC is capable of carving, milling, and engraving difference materials, be it wood, metal, copper, or plastic, like other CNC machines. Unlike other CNC machines, you can take it to the material instead of taking the material to it. Need a visual? Here you go. Amazing, huh? So how does it do this without running off the edge? Sensors. That’s how. After plugging in the…

Last year, we brought to your attention Eduard Locota’s DelMare table – an unconventional table that looks like a section of seafloor extracted from a azure blue coastline. With a low center of gravity, different sizes, and a €7,000 price tag (roughly $8,214), you can bet you get your money’s worth for a mesmerizing piece like this. Best of all, Eduard shares a little more about how he creates these beauties. First, let’s have a look at his latest. Now that the rest of Locota’s 2017 collection is out, it’s starting to look like this Romanian sculptor and designer draws a lot of his inspiration from the contrast of land…

It’s been years in development, but the chance to see giant robots fight to the metal-crunching finish is now upon us. Back in the summer of 2015, MegaBots, Inc created a 15-foot tall, 12,000lb piloted mech capable of hurling a 3lb hunk of metal at over 130 mph. The only problem: there was nobody to duel with. Enter Japan. The only other known piloted mech was a similar 9,000lb metal beast from Japan’s Suidobashi Heavy Industries. MegaBots challenged them to a matchup in the ring with melee combat—and they accepted. And today, at 7 PM Pacific Time, this epic duel will finally be streamed over on Twitch. While it will…

We’ve said it time and time again, but the Raspberry Pi is just so dang cool and we believe all designers and engineers should have one in their toolkit—if not on their desktop. While there is a bit of a slight learning curve, it’s nothing that today’s designers and engineers can’t handle on a leisurely Saturday. So why not start now? The Raspberry Pi Mastery Bundle includes 8 courses to get started creating your very own Amazon Echo or even a ‘vintage’ streaming internet radio over a weekend. Throw in your own 3D printed housings, and the opportunities are limitless! For a limited time, The Raspberry Pi Mastery Bundle is…

When it comes to inspirational source material, NASA’s archive of open source multimedia is a treasure trove for creatives. No, seriously. Among others, French designer Harold Sangourd recently pulled some source material for the creation of his Apollo 11 Table—a tribute to the famous NASA expedition. The table, which consists of molded fiberglass covering a lunar crater, was created using digital images from NASA’s archives to accurately recreate the surface of the moon. The space motif continues on down to the legs of the table—which are modeled closely after those of actual moon-landing spacecraft. The table is closely modeled after Sangourd’s APOLLO Landscapes collection—a collection manufactured through a similar 3D…
