About this project
NestWorks C500 is a next-generation desktop smart CNC packing industrial power into a desktop frame. Its 800W, 18,000 RPM spindle delivers cutting ability far beyond typical desktop machines; an auto tool changer and 3D probe automate setup, probing and tool swaps, with the team claiming 10x productivity.
±0.02mm repeatability, MQL cooling and 4-axis machining make hard-metal finishing and complex surfaces achievable — a serious upgrade for maker shops and small-batch production.
Launched in November 2025, it raised about HK$13.3M (≈$1.7M) against a HK$388,633 goal — over 26,500% funding from 3,541 backers.
