3. Send created toolpaths to your CNC Machine using WorkBee Control.

*Ethernet cable is connected directly from machine to computer and does not require internet.

LEARN HOW TO BUILD A CNC MACHINE

The WorkBee Z1+ is a self build CNC Machine Kit, and our easy-to-follow and detailed assembly manuals make the build almost as fun as using the machine!

Building your own WorkBee yourself will equip you with knowledge of all the ins and outs of the machine – making maintenance much easier.

Only simple tools are required (spanners, allen keys, screwdrivers etc.) – all the crimping, soldering, and commissioning the controller are all done for you!
