HOW ORIGIN WORKS
location tracking + active motion control = precision freehand cutting
Origin locates itself in a workspace and makes continuous real-time adjustments while the user is cutting. The result is precision — wherever you need it.
MAKE COMPLEX CUTS ANYWHERE
From custom flooring inlays to a delicate craftsman pieces, Origin is able to cut accurately at an unmatched range of scales. It works directly from digital designs at the size of your choosing.
PRECISE POCKETING FOR HARDWARE
With Origin’s precise registration of multiple-depth pockets and hole patterns, once-challenging projects are simplified. With Origin a single template file contains all your cut geometry.
CREATE YOUR OWN FIXTURES
Cut perfectly mating mortise and tenons, regardless of the size, shape, or location of your stock. Align and place hardware pockets with precision in exact reference to stock dimensions. Even work “on end” of joinery elements.
