SHAPER ORIGIN HANDHELD CNC ROUTER

Shaper Origin brings CNC-guided accuracy directly to the workpiece. Its onboard automatic cut correction helps users follow digital designs with greater control, making it suitable for woodworking, flooring, template work, engraving, joinery, and other precision routing applications. Designs can be created directly on the tool, prepared in Shaper Studio, uploaded from an existing file, or sourced from Origin-ready files and hardware templates on ShaperHub.

Compared with Origin Gen1, this second-generation model features a 25% larger screen with 2.4 times the resolution, an improved Gen2 vision system, and a cast and machined aluminum unibody. Wi-Fi and USB connectivity support online and offline file transfers, while over-the-air software updates allow the system to receive ongoing improvements.
