ShopBot, in association with the North Carolina MEP, will be hosting a Manufacturing Day 2020 virtual event on Friday, October 2 from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. EDT. Join them on MFG Day for an inside look at ShopBot. Learn about how the company was developed, directly from founder Ted Hall. Then get an inside look at the way their CNC tools are built, how they have put lean manufacturing principles to work, and how they are working on innovating their tools.

Patterson invites show attendees to send him information about their product and production needs, and include a design, that ShopBot will cut.

For one monthly payment, subscribers can put a Handibot Smart Power Tool, ShopBot Desktop, ShopBot Desktop MAX, or ShopBot Buddy tool into production.

ShopBot Tools launched the ShopBot Desktop MAX, a larger sized version of its Desktop-series CNC. Previewed during the summer and shown at AWFS 2015, the Desktop MAX features a 24" x 36" work bed, twice the size of the sister ShopBot Desktop model, and accommodating bigger workpieces, like guitar necks. The Desktop MAX sells for $9,090.

ShopBot says it will demonstrate cutting of show attendee designs, live at the International Woodworking Fair in Atlanta August 20 - 23, for those who are seriously exploring CNC solutions in woodworking (or other materials).

FabLab is a Tacoma membership workshop with Epilog laser cutter, Mojo 3D printer, ShopBot 48x96 CNC router, wood lathe, SawStop tablesaw, Rikon bandsaw, Festool compound miter saw, sanders and metalworking equipment.
