BeamCNC Can Turn Lumber into a Useful Construction System
Vlad Lunachev — October 24, 2017 — Eco
BeamCNC is an open-source CNC tool that can transform common lumber into a life-size modular construction system. The device can be used for making all kinds of projects, be it multipurpose living structures, tables, chairs, shelves, beds, shelters, exhibition stands, workbenches, tool carts, 3D printing stations, painting booths, camera arms, or virtually anything else.
Although square lumber is broadly available, it often has small size variations and curvature, which makes the production of this construction system quite challenging and labor-intensive. BeamCNC is the easiest way to produce this modular construction system, and it is portable so it can be used onsite.
Additionally, this construction system is a lot cheaper than aluminum slot beams, and comparably versatile. Due to these factors, BeamCNC can make this useful and efficient construction system a common resource.
