All info about this project can be found at blocnc.com

As makers and engineers, we know how thrilling it is to turn ideas into reality—but we also know how intimidating fabrication tools can be for beginners. That’s why we designed bloc, a user-friendly CNC system that strips away the complexity and makes digital fabrication accessible to everyone.

With a gamified interface and joystick controls, bloc makes creating fun and intuitive, no CAD experience required. Safety is built in, with features like an enclosed system, automatic cleanup, and guided workflows. It’s versatile too – supporting materials like cardboard, wood, and acrylic—so whether you're prototyping at home or teaching in a classroom, bloc adapts to your needs.

And as your skills grow, bloc grows with you, providing a pathway into CAD and digital design without overwhelming you from the start. We’re not just building machines—we’re empowering the next generation of makers to bring their ideas to life.
