Do I need a Surfacecraft account?

Yes. The controller pairs with your Surfacecraft account and runs the jobs you design there. Sending jobs to it is part of Surfacecraft Pro.

Can I run jobs without Wi-Fi?

Yes. The controller has a microSD slot, so you can run G-code files from a card when the Wi-Fi is down.

When can I buy one, and what will it cost?

We're planning the first batch now and haven't set a price yet. Join the waitlist and you'll hear first, before anyone else can order.

Hardware · in development

Your machine, in your hand.

The Surfacecraft Controller is a 7-inch touchscreen pendant with a real keypad. Jog, zero and run jobs right at the machine, without walking back to the laptop.
