TraceMill VMC · Hybrid Manufacturing

The leap to Industry 5.0 manufacturing.

The TraceMill VMC is a multi-manufacturing machine that merges additive and subtractive production into a single, unified footprint — taking you from concept to final part without ever leaving the bed.

The Innovation

The CAD/CAM bypass.

Fly-by-Wire Prototyping replaces the design pipeline with pure motion. Our smart tracing arm translates physical movement into real-time digital motor commands — so what your hand traces, the machine builds.

01

Fly-by-Wire Prototyping

A smart tracing arm captures physical movement and converts it into precise, real-time digital motor commands.

02

No G-Code Required

Eliminates the need for G-code programming, giving operators direct, intuitive control of the toolpath.

03

Skip the Software

No complex CAD/CAM design suites to replicate parts — the geometry you trace is the geometry you produce.

04

Geometry Replicated

The mapping algorithm mirrors traced toolpaths onto the machining station with faithful accuracy.

2-in-1 Solution

Two interchangeable heads. One universal bed.

We merge additive and subtractive manufacturing onto a single, interchangeable machine bed — so a single operator can move seamlessly from prototype to production-grade part.

Additive01/02

Additive Manufacturing Head

A precision extrusion head builds parts layer-by-layer for fast, faithful prototyping directly on the universal bed.

  • Layer-by-layer extrusion
  • Rapid prototyping
  • Complex geometry, zero tooling
Subtractive02/02

Subtractive Manufacturing Tool

A powerful spindle takes over the same bed for face-finishing and high-tolerance machining at micron-level precision.

  • High-torque spindle
  • Face-finishing & milling
  • Micron-level precision
Impact & Efficiency

Democratizing hybrid manufacturing for mid-tier workshops.

Scaled-down aerospace technology brings multi-million-dollar capability within reach — with measurable socio-economic returns for local manufacturers.

50%CapEx Efficiency

One hybrid machine replaces two, halving the capital cost of a full manufacturing setup.

<24hLead Times

Keep complex, high-profit export orders entirely in-house and ship in under a day.

60–70%Less Material Waste

Additive-first workflows dramatically cut scrap versus traditional subtractive-only production.
