Roland iModela
The iModela is a low-cost, easy-to-use desktop device that mills wax, foam, balsa wood and plastic materials commonly used in craft and hobby projects.
With iModela, users can bring their most innovative design ideas to life, whether or not they have any previous experience with 3D technologies. iModela makes it easy to create a physical model from a 3D rendering, using powerful 3D modelling technology to sculpt shapes, drill holes, create reliefs, smooth surfaces and engrave designs. With iModela, 3D modellers and hobbyists can affordably produce even the most complex designs with precision.
