Big workspace. Big projects. Smart design saves space. Wood, metal, acrylic, etc.

Story

Make Something BIG

Cubiio X tackles projects larger than its size. Four steel cord timing belts with varying lengths provide a configurable workspace of up to 4 ft by 4 ft or 2 ft by 6 ft. This compact machine makes it possible to create a 4-seat table or even a Christmas tree with ease.

What Can Be Cut

Cubiio X cuts through a variety of materials such as wood, plastic and metal. Its solid rail and precision ballscrew guide the spindle, while the z-axis motor gradually actuates the spinning bit into the workpiece. Actual tests show that Cubiio X is capable of reliably machining aluminum, copper, and brass using carbide bits.

From Small To Big

Cubiio X can cut materials on a 4’ x 4’ area at up to a 1.2” depth. Perfect for hobbyists and pros. With minimal setup and maximum repeatability, you can start carving artwork as you want. Nice and clean! So, what masterpiece will you create first? A chair, a guitar, an airplane?

Precise Carving

With a V-shape carving bit, Cubiio X is capable of carving 3D relief. See the beautiful details.

 

How It Works

4 independent motors manage belts that precisely guide the tool throughout the machining process. The tension of the belts is constantly monitored and adjusted to ensure optimal speed and accuracy, taking into account factors such as friction, reaction torque, and belt elasticity. The advanced mathematics behind Cubiio X’s design sets it apart, ensuring exceptional performance every time.

Smart Design Saves Space

Bring Cubiio X to the job and work at any scale. Weighing only 8 lbs and the size of a basketball, it fits anywhere that you can easily store from workshop to home garage. Carry it and have fun with friends!

5-minute Easy Setup

Software

We don’t reinvent the wheel. Your preferred CAD/CAM software must generate universal G-code files, accepted by Cubiio X. For beginners, we recommend Onshape for designing and LaserWeb/CNCWeb with full features to get you started on your CNC journey.
* converting DXF/SVG/BITMAP/JPG/PNG files to G-code;
* simulating tool trajectories and estimating the time;
* connecting and controlling your Cubiio X.

These applications are free for personal use and run within web browsers, making them compatible with most iOS and Windows devices.

Laser Marking

Looking for more than just a CNC robot? With the optional add-on to use laser heads or other end effectors, customization has never been easier. Imagine creating a warm little house for your beloved pet and adding a personalized touch by laser marking their name on it. Freely switch between different heads and let your creativity run wild, because good things often come in pairs!

Safety

The dust collector not only blocks the flying sharp chips but also keeps fingers away from the cutting bit. The optical attenuator prevents laser from leaking out. You can install the emergency stop switch (ESS) anywhere you prefer. Your safety is our top priority.

Community Sharing

Our Cubiio fanpage boasts a community of over 28k followers. More than 9k Cubiio owners have joined the “Quser group”, where they actively share useful tips and thousands of stunning images of their creations. If you have questions, our community of seasoned enthusiasts from all over the world would love to help you. Just take a look at the amazing artwork they have posted.

Team

Our story began with Cubiio in 2017, the most compact laser engraver at the time, followed by Cubiio 2: Laser Cutter & Metal Engraver in 2020, the most funded fabrication tool on Kickstarter. We recognized that ambitious creators faced challenges of space and cost in acquiring a CNC machine, which led us to develop Cubiio X – the portable CNC robot. This innovative product took two years of hard work, numerous redesigns, and hundreds of tests to create.

With successful campaigns in 2017 and 2020, we fulfilled orders for over 5500 backers from more than 80 countries. Our expertise in logistics and high-quality mass production has allowed us to gain valuable experience in the industry.

 

Risks and challenges

You can trust a campaigner with a proven track record. We completed 2 million-dollar-level Kickstarter campaigns and fulfilled all 5000 orders. Now we have rich experience in mass production, logistics, and customer service. We are confident that all backers will receive their rewards before November. However, unforeseen conditions might arise which may cause delays. If anything unpredictable happens, we will keep backers informed as we try our best to solve the problem. Any cutting machine has the risk of being harmful to the human body. Wear protective equipment properly. Any laser device has the risk of being harmful to the human eye and skin. Never direct powered laser products toward humans, creatures, explosives, and flammable objects. Rewards provided by this project are not allowed to be used in any illegal purpose. Obey the law and comply with the laser safety regulations of your country.
