Imagine having a CNC machine that fits on your desk but has the power to create professional-quality projects. That's the reality with the Cubiko CNC. Whether it’s wood, metal, or even PCBs, the right tool can open up endless possibilities. That’s why we’re excited to introduce Cubiko, a compact yet powerful all-in-one CNC machine designed for precision, versatility, and ease of use — perfect for any makerspace or home workshop.
Get ready to see how Cubiko can transform your creative workflow.
Project 1: Crafting an Aluminum Bookmark with Precision Engravin
We designed the bookmark using vector graphics, which are ideal for CNC because they stay sharp at any size. Cubiko’s Auto Z-Probing and Height Map Auto-Leveling then automatically set the perfect cutting depth, which was incredible to watch. The 10,000 RPM spindle then smoothly cut the design into the aluminum, creating flawlessly crisp details. After a quick polish, the bookmark had a beautiful, professional finish.

Setting reference:
- Material: Aluminum Sheet (2mm thick)
- Tool: 2mm Single-Flute End Mill
- Settings: 100mm/min feed rate, 10,000 RPM
- Depth Per Pass: 0.1mm
- Total Time: ~4 hours
Why This Matters for Makers
Whether you’re designing custom keychains, nameplates, or artistic engravings, Cubiko lets you work with soft metals like aluminum and copper, opening the door to personalized gifts and small-batch production.
Project 2: Creating an Interactive Wooden Maze Puzzle
The maze design began with a simple CAD/CAM program where we sketched a complex, interlocking puzzle. Cubiko’s powerful NEMA 17 stepper motors then brought the design to life, their smooth movements ensuring razor-sharp edges and perfectly clean cuts. The final touch was adding a small metal ball, transforming the wood into a fun, interactive game. Holding the finished maze was a tactile experience; the smooth wood felt great, and the 'clink' of the ball echoed the precision of the machining.
