I’ve been really excited about this little project, using the shaper origin for these fretwork doors has been perfect. Even the process of transferring it from SketchUp to the actual machine took me no longer than 5 minutes. I will try and show a video soon of my process of doing it.
New collar goods
This is a feature packed product that manages to keep user options simple and very clear. With only a bit of instruction, this is a tool that you can hand off to a new employee and with a very small learning curve, expect consistent and accurate results.

If my Shaper Origin got run over by a truck or something, I would immediately purchase a new one, and probably pay extra to have it delivered overnight. :)

Elevating your furniture
The Shaper Add-In for Fusion 360 let Neil Clemmons move easily back and forth between designing and cutting, making minor tweaks to his design and quickly creating a custom jig for tenon work.
Timeless Techniques
Bringing a mix of traditional sign painting with custom shapes, Michelle Nguyen was able to add a layer of dimension to projects that is difficult for smaller sign shops to accomplish.
Keeping the craft
SIOSI maintain their autonomy as craftspeople, making their inlay work “more precise and less risky,” without sacrificing their freedom to adapt to a particular project’s needs. “We’re not manufacturing. We’re trying to make one really special piece at a time.”
Combine with Existing Tools
Custom Zoetrope with 12 bird inlay animation frames immortalized in wood. Coby Unger uses a combination of wood turning & Origin here for infinite possibilities.
Modern Joinery
Maximilian Messner used Origin to cut a triangular tabletop, intricately applying veneer to its surface and using Festool’s Conturo to finish the edge.
Find the rhythm
Alex Myla describes Origin as his "dream CNC." Origin allows him to create his guitars modularly, mixing and matching various elements without the hassle of a library of templates. “There are some parts of guitar making that I'd rather not spend my time doing,” he says. “Origin allows me to focus on the parts of the process that really bring me happiness.”
The right jig
Slawek Krauze is always eager to explore creative production-driven techniques. He uses Origin to create a router fixture that enables him to carve a precise dish shape into a finished product.
Big projects with little space
When Chris Sullivan started building his 18-foot dory, he relied on a local makerspace for access to its gantry CNC machines. He prefers the intimacy that a hand tool like Origin affords him when constructing his passion project.
Technology you won’t notice.
