Built to Make More
Redefine What You Can Create
From intelligent software to 4-axis machining, the C500 brings every step together in one seamless CNC workflow.
Cut, Carve, and Shape More
From metals and wood to plastics and PCB, C500 handles a wide range of materials.
Five Tools, Zero Tool Chaos
Automatic Tool Changing
With 5-tool automatic tool changer (ATC), switch between tools
automatically for hands-free machining.
Smart RFID Tool Management
RFiD-enabled holders automatically identify tools, track tool life and usage, and sync tool data with CAM software for smart tool selection.
Just Three Steps from Prototype to Production
A streamlined CNC workflow powered by Nest Studio makes CNC machining easier.
Control at Your Fingertips
Touchscreen Interface
Swipe and tap through essential machine functions with an intuitive built-in interface.
On-Machine Control
Access key controls directly from the C500 without relying on a connected computer.
Wi-Fi Connectivity
Nest Studio and C500 work together over Wi-Fi for seamless PC and on-machine control.
Bringing MQL to Desktop CNC
Coolant is atomized into a fine mist under high pressure and precisely delivered to the cutting area for effective cooling
and lubrication, while clearing chips from the worktable into the dual-sided augers.
Unlock 4-Axis Machining
Add the 4th-axis module to switch between 3-axis and 4-axis machining.
Machine multi-sided and cylindrical parts with fewer setups and less
repositioning.
