Thousands of Snapmaker users are in for a surprise today as the company unveils yet another module to bring even more functionality to your fabrication-station. Released as a part of Snapmaker’s #StayFoolishKeepMaking campaign to celebrate the ‘Maker’ spirit, the Rotary Module for the Snapmaker 2.0 turns your device into a bonafide 3D printer and rotary CNC machine and laser-engraver. The rotary module unlocks a new dimension in your fabrication process, allowing you to jump from 2.5D CNC machining to incredibly detailed and accurate machined designs that look as good as (if not better than) 3D prints. Fitting perfectly into Snapmaker 2.0’s diverse ecosystem, the rotary module unlocks a new world of functionality, prototyping, and opportunity to the already-versatile machine. The Snapmaker 2.0 was designed to democratize in-house prototyping by simplifying professional-grade tech to make it consumer-friendly (you can read more about it here). With the new rotary module, the user is empowered further, and is given new opportunities to put their ideas to the test.
The rotary module belongs to the Snapmaker’s modular ecosystem, integrated seamlessly into the Snapmaker 2.0’s workflow with a snap. It replaces the flat-bed attachment and can work in conjunction with the CNC module to give you a 4-axis CNC machine, the 3D printing module to let you print on curved surfaces, or even the laser-etching/engraving head to let you laser-carve artworks on cylindrical or curved surfaces. The module comes with a swappable 3-jaw chuck that can clamp inwards or outwards, along with a dedicated tailstock that gives you extra stability during precise operation. The module also comes as bundled with Snapmaker Luban, a custom software that offers an intelligent, visualized G-Code generated workflow to help you set up your projects with ease. Calibrating your machine is simple too, with Snapmaker’s Original Assistant (on its screen-module), you will be guided through the relatively easy process.
Like all of Snapmaker 2.0’s components, the rotary module is precisely machined from an anodized aluminum alloy, making it lightweight yet high-performance. The rotary module comes in two sizes for the A350 and A250, and ships in a bundle along with Snapmaker’s Emergency Stop Button which lets you instantly stop a job in the event of an error or an emergency (the Emergency Stop Button is also separately available as a standalone module). Moreover, the rotary module builds on the infinite capabilities of the Snapmaker 2.0 ecosystem, while also promising to be compatible with all future Snapmaker 2.0 modules that the company releases. Yes, you can take our word for it (we’re not pranking!)
