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\u2014but we also know how intimidating fabrication tools can be for beginners. That\u2019s 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\u2019s versatile too \u2013 supporting materials like cardboard, wood, and acrylic\u2014so 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\u2019re not just building machines\u2014we\u2019re empowering the next generation of makers to bring their ideas to life.
