What’s Desktop CNC?

A CNC Router or mill uses subtractive manufacturing, unlike 3D Printing which uses Additive manufacturing. It is like drilling but can also cut horizontally and vertically. Because of this, Desktop CNC routers are capable of creating a wider variety of complex designs and shapes.

Unlike 3D Printed objects which can result in structural weaknesses due to the process, milling a solid part out of one piece can result in a much stronger part. There are also many materials that cannot be 3D printed but can be easily engraved.

SainSmart Genmitsu series offers desktop CNC machines that are budget friendly yet versatile and powerful. Here is a guide to help you choose the right one.

What do the numbers mean?

The numbers in the model represent the size of the working area. For example, Genmitsu 3018's working dimensions are 300mm x 180mm (11.8'' x 7.1'' ). SainSmart carries a variety of machines with different work areas and capabilities.

Which Genmitsu Desktop CNC Machine is right for you?

Genmitsu series CNC machines can be used to cut anything from wax to wood and with the proper setup and configuration soft metals like aluminum, making them a great start in the hobby.
