There can be many different reasons why customers decide to purchase Origin: curiosity to get to grips with new technology, the desire for more flexibility with precise work, or the need to carry out certain work steps that were previously not possible for them efficiently.
For Justin Nelson of Fernweh Woodworking, the tool’s blend of digital precision and practical craftsmanship resonated deeply.
Similarly, Gary Banks from Bank’s Carpentry in London was intrigued by Origin’s potential to blend his love for woodworking with digital tools and modern design principles.
Its precise capabilities, user-friendly interface, and the freedom to execute intricate designs without the traditional space and cost constraints of larger CNC machines are compelling factors. Justin explains: “I couldn’t fit a big CNC in here, nor do I really have a need for a big CNC or the money for one, so I was curious about what Origin could do for me.” This sentiment echoes among users like Gary, who have found confidence in tackling complex projects with Origin’s real-time auto-correction features.
Origin has become indispensable, enabling woodworkers to explore new creative frontiers. Whether shaping bespoke furniture, intricate inlays, or custom signage, Origin empowers users like Gary to fulfil unique client demands with precision and efficiency.
