Built by a maker

More making.
Less in the way.

I’m Caleb Chico, the maker behind ChicoCore Labs. I’ve spent more than a decade working with CNC machines and CO₂ lasers, and I’m building the tools I want in my own workshop.

I want to make it easier to design a part, understand what the machine will do, and bring an idea to life. There’s still plenty to build and improve, and I’d love to hear what other makers think.
