Halloween Pumpkin Carving With CNC Robotics

Posted by samzenpus on from the high-tech-carving dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A guy at Lumenlab has created a way to carve his face on a pumpkin using his DIY CNC gantry robot. I think this demonstration says a lot about the future ubiquity of the technology. I'm really looking forward to the day that I have one of these machines in my garage."

  1. Wrong picture... taken from here by bryansj · · Score: 5, Informative

    This guy was on Food Network and won the pumpkin carving challenge. The Predator pumpkin shown was stolen from his site. http://www.villafanestudios.com/pumpkins.htm

  2. Massively misleading article summary and photo by nmg196 · · Score: 4, Informative

    Just in case it isn't obvious, the photo is NOT related to the article summary and the pumpkin was NOT carved on a CNC machine! This article is massively misleading. The photo was stolen from another site featuring hand-carved pumpkins. I doubt a CNC machine could even vaguely come close to doing that on a material so soft and flexible.
