AMM – What was the motivation to start developing Red Fox 2?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Alfonso Rodrigo, Managing Director of NomadTech –<\/strong> User feedback is always the driving force behind adding new products to our catalogue. Red Fox 2 has been no exception. This new CNC milling machine is the improved version of its predecessor, the Red Fox, which has been on the market for 6 years now. All these years and hundreds of customers who use it to manufacture an infinite variety of projects, have given us information about what the market demands: machines that are robust, easy to use, that simplify the work process; users are looking for precision, versatility, and the support of a company that accompanies them in embarking on this type of technology. The experience of our hundreds of customers has taught us a lot, and thanks to them, we have been able to develop this improved version of Red Fox that we are sure will help them take their work to the next level.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

AMM – Can you tell us about the product development process?<\/strong><\/p>\n

NomadTech –<\/strong> As I mentioned earlier, it all starts with user feedback. During these 6 years of Red Fox in the market, we have listened to what people had to say: what they would like to make with the machine, functionalities they would add to the current product, how they use the CNC in the production of their projects… We listened to all their comments and suggestions; this served as a fundamental basis in the development of this new product.<\/p>\n

Also, over the 8 years of NomadTech’s operations, and with a diverse portfolio of CNC products ranging from plasma cutters to laser engravers, we have accumulated a lot of knowledge about these technologies. All this know-how permeates this new milling machine, which is why we are confident that Red Fox 2 will meet the manufacturing needs of the most demanding users.<\/p>\n

This was also one of the main challenges in the development of the Red Fox 2, as we wanted it to unify several technologies in a single tool. This versatile CNC milling machine has the possibility of including accessories such as a laser engraving module – which will allow users to engrave any detail on their materials – and a rotary module – which provides the machine with a fourth axis, allowing the user to mill on cylindrical surfaces, like a lathe. Both of these accessories increase the range of manufacturing possibilities users have to work with, turning the Red Fox 2 into an all-in-one workshop.<\/p>\n

Other things we have taken into account in the development of this product is its international projection: its operating system is available in several languages, we have taken into account the voltage needs of each market, we have conceived its design to be easy to transport, among other details.<\/p>\n

AMM- Any interesting anecdotes during development?<\/strong><\/p>\n

NomadTech –<\/strong> We have a funny anecdote about the choice of the product name. We knew we had a winning product on our hands, a disruptive CNC machine, and somehow we wanted this to be reflected in the name. “We got very creative, we thought of many, many options, hundreds: we had several meetings with the marketing team, with the sales department, even the engineers contributed their bit… but we still couldn’t come up with the “ideal name”. During this process, we remembered what was the key to all this new development, the place where the need to create this milling machine arose: the positive experience that hundreds of users have had with Red Fox. We knew that with this new CNC we would achieve something similar to what we achieved with Red Fox Original: an easy-to-use machine, which would bring hundreds of users closer to digital manufacturing and boost their businesses. At this point we understood that the most logical thing to do would be to keep this brand that users already know and love.<\/p>\n

AMM – What is the technology behind this innovation?<\/strong><\/p>\n

NomadTech –<\/strong> Red Fox 2 is a desktop CNC milling machine (CNC router type); economical, easy to use, precise and robust, capable of integrating a series of accessories that make it the most versatile on the market. It has 3 axes of movement that allow you to produce 2D and 3D cutting and carving projects, in a wide variety of materials up to 15 cm thick: wood, plastics, non-ferrous metals (such as aluminium, copper, bronze), acrylic, methacrylate, technical foams, dibond and many others.<\/p>\n
