Shaper Origin is the world’s first computer-assisted, handheld CNC machine. Designed with woodworking professionals in mind, Origin brings CNC-level precision to a hand tool for an ideal blend of human and machine. It combines precision and repeatability with unprecedented flexibility.
Avoid the envelope limits of traditional CNC machines and tackle projects at a wide range of scales with a single, compact tool. Use Origin’s intuitive touch screen interface to place designs in your workspace and set cut specs on the fly. Origin automatically calculates toolpaths for you — no programming required. Its onboard computer moves the spindle 100 times per second to keep the cutting bit right on the toolpath. All you have to do is keep Origin close to the toolpath shown on the screen. Over-The-Air software updates mean that, unlike other power tools, Origin gets better and more powerful the longer you own it.
30 Day Risk-Free Trial You’ll have 30 days to decide if Origin is right for you. Return the tool in its original packaging for a complete refund—just pay shipping!
