Just a few months ago, we told you about a group of graduate students from the University of Bristol who developed a really interesting product for their final engineering project: it's called Omni Invent, the desktop maker machine. The multifunctional CNC machine combines 3D printing technology milling, metrology, and component placement in one low-cost platform. The Omni machine can change tools automatically, and allows for the quick, precise production of more functional and durable parts. Since they first developed the Omni, the four Bristol graduates have been busy, attracting funding, continuing to develop the machine, and earned a spot with a leading hardware accelerator.
