Acro CNC Mechanical Kit Assembly Instructions

UpdatedMay 27, 2024

The Maker Store ACRO system is based on the Open Source (CC BY-SA 4.0) OpenBuilds USA design with some minor modifications for easy construction. The ACRO system can be adapted easily to almost any size due to its effective modular design. Featuring V-Slot systems and lightweight plates made from precision-cut acrylic, the ACRO System retains the ability to be configured to custom sizes suitable to your needs while remaining lightweight and easily upgradable without starting from scratch.

The ACRO CNC is suitable for mounting 2.5-20W Blue Light Lasers for laser engraving and cutting. With some small modifications, the ACRO can also be used as a drawing machine by mounting a marker or fountain pen to the gantry.

The ACRO was designed as a lightweight and fast laser CNC machine suitable for hobby applications. It is the most accurate cost-effective system in its class.

See the video below for the mechanical assembly instructions.
