Re: Great design and I have a question

It depends on which material you need to cut, and how the shape to cut is designed. All of my hexapods are cut on a CNC router. This enables me to cut plastics and metals, in 2D, 2.5D and 3D. Laser cutters are also popular, and can cut most plastics and some metals depending on the machine, however, the can only cut in 2D. eg, they can't pocket material.
