Nestworks Launches Revolutionary Desktop CNC on Kickstarter: First Consumer-Grade Machine for Serious Metal Machining

Revolutionary Device Brings Automatic Tool Change, Precision Centering, and Hard Metal Capability to Makers, Developers, and Small Businesses

SEATTLE, Nov. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Nestworks, a pioneer in accessible advanced manufacturing tools, today announced the launch of its flagship desktop CNC machine on Kickstarter, marking a historic milestone for the personal manufacturing industry. The Nestworks CNC is the first truly desktop-sized device capable of “serious metal machining” — a breakthrough that democratizes precision fabrication of titanium, stainless steel, and other hard metals, making metalworking as simple and accessible as 3D printing.

For decades, desktop CNC machines have been limited by manual tool changes, cumbersome setup, and inability to handle industrial-grade materials, confining serious metalwork to large factory equipment costing tens of thousands of dollars. The Nestworks CNC shatters these barriers with four industry-first features integrated into a compact, desk-friendly design:

  • Automatic Tool Changer (ATC): Eliminates manual tool swaps with a built-in carousel system, reducing downtime by up to 70% and eliminating human error in tool positioning. The system supports multi-step machining processes without operator intervention, critical for complex part production.
  • Intelligent Auto-Centering: Uses precision sensors to automatically locate material origins in seconds, replacing the time-consuming manual calibration that frustrated even experienced makers. This ensures 0.01mm-level accuracy across every project.
  • Hard Metal Mastery: Equipped with a high-torque spindle and industrial-grade cutting capabilities, the machine effortlessly machines titanium, 304 stainless steel, aluminum alloys, and more — materials previously off-limits to consumer CNC devices.
  • One-Click Toolpath Generation via In-House CAM Software: Features proprietary CAM software that automatically generates optimal machining toolpaths with a single click, eliminating the need for advanced programming skills. It adapts to different materials and part designs, balancing speed and precision for both beginners and experts.

“This isn’t just an upgrade to existing desktop CNCs — it’s a complete reimagining of what’s possible for personal manufacturing,” said Henry, Co-Founder of Nestworks. “For years, hardware developers have had to choose between slow 3D-printed prototypes or costly outsourced metal parts. Small businesses have avoided in-house machining due to complex equipment. Today, we’re putting a ‘mini factory’ on their desks that handles real metal with the simplicity of a 3D printer.”

The launch addresses a critical gap in the $4.2 billion global personal manufacturing equipment market. While 3D printing has become ubiquitous for plastic prototyping, metal fabrication remained inaccessible to non-industrial users due to equipment size, cost, and complexity. The Nestworks CNC changes this equation by:

  • Enabling hardware developers to iterate metal prototypes in hours instead of weeks, cutting product development cycles by 50% or more.
  • Empowering makers to create functional metal parts — from custom machine components to precision tools — without specialized training.
  • Helping small businesses reduce small-batch production costs by eliminating outsourcing fees and minimum order requirements.

“Personal CNC has been stuck in a cycle of compromise — either too weeak for real work or too complex for everyday use,” added Henry. “The Nestworks CNC breaks that cycle. We’re not just selling a machine; we’re opening a new era where metalworking is accessible to anyone with an idea.”

Bybit x Block Scholes Report: Cautious Crypto Derivatives, WLFI Volatility Persists

DUBAI, UAE, Nov. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has released its latest Bybit x Block Scholes Crypto Derivatives Analytics Report, in collaboration with Block Scholes. The report provides an in-depth analysis of crypto derivatives, macroeconomic influences, and trader sentiment following the major market liquidation in October.

Key Highlights:

Cautious Derivatives Market After Liquidation

A historic $6 billion liquidation on October 10, triggered by renewed U.S.–China trade tensions, led to sharp deleveraging across perpetual swap markets. Although diplomatic progress followed with a signed trade deal, sentiment remained fragile after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s hawkish comments at the FOMC press conference. Bitcoin (BTC) fell to $107,000, while short-term put-call skews turned bearish, signaling renewed risk aversion.

Open Interest Flatlines Below $10 Billion

Notional open interest in perpetual contracts has remained stagnant since the $19 billion liquidation, with traders showing limited willingness to re-enter positions. Despite record highs in U.S. equities, crypto markets continue to move independently of broader risk-on sentiment, with BTC and ETH prices confined to the $105,000–$115,000 range.

Options Activity Indicates Ongoing Hedging Demand

In contrast to perpetual markets, BTC options open interest has steadily increased, suggesting continued hedging and speculative strategies. Elevated at-the-money implied volatility and consistent demand for short-term puts reflect traders’ defensive stance.

WLFI Token Volatility After Airdrop

The DeFi protocol World Liberty Financial (WLF) saw its governance token WLFI rebound 25 percent to $0.15 following an 8.4 million WLFI airdrop to early users. Although the rebound improved sentiment, perpetual funding rates remain unstable, indicating persistent market uncertainty.

The report concludes that the crypto derivatives market is cautiously regaining stability after significant deleveraging. Participants continue to prioritize risk management over aggressive exposure, while select DeFi rebounds point to renewed speculative interest. With macroeconomic headwinds — including monetary policy shifts and geopolitical developments — still shaping sentiment, traders are maintaining a defensive outlook as they await clearer market direction.

The full analysis is available in the Bybit x Block Scholes Crypto Derivatives Analytics Report.
