Bar Smith
Bar Smith has run a Kickstarter for a closed loop desktop CNC machine (Makesmith), worked at a biotech startup, traveled South America, and is currently working on the Maslow CNC. He believes deeply in a world where people can work together
The Maslow CNC is an open source, 4 by 8 foot CNC router for just $350!
What inspired you to make this project?:
After Bar's first attempt at a desktop CNC router in 2014/15, he envisioned something bigger that could be much more useful. After a stint of traveling and self-discovery, Bar returned to the US with a fresh idea for how to make a CNC that could be affordable and useful not only for crafters but for those in need. Bar envisioned a machine that could cut a house, could be used to teach young people, could be used in disaster relief situations, etc. From these ideas and goals, Maslow was born.
