The InfiMaker K1 Makes 5-Axis CNC Machining Look Almost Too Easy, and It’s Launching Soon on Kickstarter
On August 11th, 2026, I was invited to a Kickstarter Launch Event in San Francisco for the InfiMaker K1 5-axis CNC, a sleek desktop machine with powerful capabilities for experienced makers and hobbyists alike. I have personally stayed away from things like 3D printers– I’m not creating things to sell on Etsy any time soon. The learning curve seems slightly daunting. I’ve played with laser engravers and copycat CNC routers with varying degrees of frustration. But a 5-axis CNC? No way I’d be able to wrap my head around that. Or could I?
