One machine, three functions: the future of multimodal digital manufacturing
MiniFab rework digital manufacturing by transforming a single machine into three specialized tools: CNC mill, 3D printer, and pen plotter. Based on Klipper and powered by intelligent automatic detection via CAN bus, MiniFab dynamically configures your machine according to the connected tool.
- 3 machines in 1: CNC, 3D printing, plotting
- Automatic switching: Intelligent toolhead detection
- Unified interface: Single interface for all modes
- Automatic CAN detection: Instant tool recognition
- Dynamic configuration: Automatic parameter adaptation
- Integrated safety: Mode-specific protections
- Klipper firmware: Precise and performant control
- Rotary B-axis: Integrated 4-axis manufacturing
- Real-time monitoring: Dedicated web interface
| Mode | Capabilities | Specifics |
|---|---|---|
| 🔧 CNC Mill | Precision machining, spindle control M3/M4/M5 | Assisted tool change M6, integrated vacuum |
| 🖨️ 3D Print | FDM printing, heated bed, auto calibration | Deployable probe, multi-material management |
| ✏️ Pen Plotter | Vector plotting, optimized movements | Simplified interface, precise pen control |
| 🔩 Pellet | Pellet extrusion, large nozzle | Economic manufacturing, recycled materials |
