(3D Printing Industry) — Printrbot has unveiled its Printrbot Pro, a large-scale 3D printer and a crawling CNC router. Designed entirely in Autodesk’s Fusion 360, the cloud-operated Crawlbot is a TinyG and Pi-powered CNC router capable of cutting objects 4 feet by 8 feet in size, despite its compact design. The router seems to be an evolution of the company’s previous CNC machine, the Printrbot CNC Beta, released last year.

The Pro is meant to be relatively inexpensive. Printrbot’s Brook Drumm wrote, “It’s also the most expensive printer we have ever made but will be less than the MB Z18. But, not gonna kid ya, shipping will kill you.” In other words, it will cost less than $6,500, without shipping, but, in order to get one, you’ll have to join the waiting list, with each Printrbot Pro being made to order. In fact, Drumm may even interview potential buyers “to be sure of a good fit.”
