CNC Machining

The Rapid Prototyping Lab has both CNC and traditional machines to work with any material, at any scale  


Langmuir MR-1

The MR-1 Gantry Mill is a 3-Axis vertical CNC milling machine that was designed specifically for hobbyist, light industrial, and educational uses. MR-1 features the power and rigidity to remove 30 pounds of steel per hour and the accuracy and precision to hold tight tolerances.  

Tool specs:
• X/Y axis backlash (max) 0.001″
• Z axis backlash (max) 0.002″
• Linear step resolution 0.00015″
• linear travel error (max) 0.004″ per 12″ of travel
• positional repeatability 0.0005″


NSCNC Elara 2 

With a small footprint size, the Elara Milling Machine has incredible strength and precision. Using its advanced system of servo motors, ball-screw railings and robust capacity, the Elara can machine the smallest gears with meticulous accuracy while having the power to cut down entire stainless-steel cases.
