The Tormach mission is focused on enabling the ideas of our many users, who find themselves at varying levels of knowledge and skill when it comes to machining. CNC machining has often been restricted to those with the means to house massive manufacturing machinery and those with the knowledge-base to keep from crashing said machinery.

Scientists don’t fully understand how superconducting materials work, but if we did, their potential could be harnessed in saving energy. Peter Abbamonte, chief scientific officer at Inprentus (Champaign, IL), explains that, “30% of the power consumed in the United States every year just goes to heat up the grid.”
