We think the first cut on a real machine should be a formality.

Twinwright started with a question: can a desktop mill come with a twin so faithful that the first cut on the real machine is a formality?

We designed the MC-1 as a parametric CAD model with its drawings, wiring and checks generated from one source, then built its twin from the same data: the controller firmware on a virtual clock, with models of the drives, the spindle, the switches, the cut and the errors of the machine.

Then we wrote that controller firmware ourselves, so that one code base runs on the machine and in the twin, and gave Studio its own CAM: the shape goes in, a program comes out that has already run to the end in the twin. Every claim on this site rests on that kind of evidence.
