Shaper Bench Pilot + Workstation

Hands free when you have your hands full!

Tired of always having to guide Origin by hand? With BenchPilot you can mill Origin (Gen1 and Gen2) automatically and concentrate on other tasks. During the milling process, BenchPilot moves Origin from point A to point B, while Origin continues to perform the small precision milling movements itself - like an autopilot for Origin.

BenchPilot is mounted on the workstation or directly on your work surface and forms a gantry-like system. This makes it possible to carry out both surface and end-face processing, such as milling joints, inlays, intricate engravings or profiles. This is ideal for series production or time-consuming work. Best of all, no complicated software, G-code or other CNC programming is required.

It really is that simple!

If you can operate Origin, you can operate BenchPilot. Once Origin is connected to BenchPilot, set up your project as usual with Origin and then click "Pilot" to start milling.

  • Design directly on the tool.
  • You can start milling in just a few minutes.
  • Interrupt the milling process if necessary.
  • Simply continue milling.
