We’re now in the final month of the year! What a crazy year it’s been, especially with the growth of the AltMill platform, the launch of the ATC, new tools, accessories and more. We’ve seen significant growth in 2025, with our company and sales doubling from 2024.
Holiday schedule
Our offices will be closed for the holidays from Dec 25 to Jan 1, and we will reopen Jan 2, 2026.
We will continue to ship orders up to Dec 24th, however, we recommend placing orders in advance if you need them to be shipped out beforehand.
Customer service, shipping, and other company functions may be limited at this time.
ATC
The ATC has now launched!
Production is now underway, with our intial batch of parts ordered for the first 160 units. We are aiming to start shipping units in Jan 2026 based on our current schedule.
We also have a livestream scheduled on YouTube, so make sure to check that out.
AltMill 4×8
AltMill 4×8 was just launched and is currently in production as well. Most parts have been ordered, but a few major parts such as the extrusion and gear racks are going through final sample checks before full batches are ordered.
Now that the 4×8 is launched, we’re mostly in a waiting game for parts. We are slowly starting set up processes to get ready for the assembly.
AltMill 2×4 and 4×4
AltMill 2×4 and 4×4 are continuing to ship. However, we’re currently waiting on more 1.5KW and 2.2KW spindles to arrive, expected in the second week of December. This means that the machine and spindles may ship for some orders at different times. Once the spindles arrive, we are expecting to clear out of the remaining queue fairly quickly.
AutoSpin T1
We’re excited to announce that the AutoSpin T1 is now in production. We received our first production sample at the end of October and started our final set of testing. Although the performance and function of the tool met our standards, we had to get a second unit built to ensure our text and logo matched our standards for packaging and silkscreening, since they were a little bit off. However, we have checked the latest version and were able to accept it for final production.
We now have the first 2,000 units in production. We are expecting production to complete around mid-December, and we should have them arrive at our shop around the end of January.
Closed-Loop Stepper Motor Kit
A few months ago we put out a post to test the waters for interest on a closed-loop stepper motor kit. Since then we’ve received quite a lot of interest for a kit for adding CLS motors to the LongMill, as well additional inquiries to retrofit the motor and control systems on non-Sienci Labs machines.
Otherwise, we are currently wrapping up the remaining ordering of parts and finishing the resources and documentation that will be available to help users do the installation at the time of launch.
We’re excited to share that we are reaching the final stages for supply chain, testing, and resource development for a kit. We are now working on figuring out pricing as well as the potential tie in with the LongMill MK3 in development. Keep an eye out for launch info coming out in the next 3-4 weeks!
gControl Panel Computers
We’re happy to have received another batch of gControl Panel Computers, so we’re shipping out to folks who have been waiting first (roughly a month.) We are expecting to have stock until January or February. We have also ordered another batch of computers expected to arrive early next year as well.
We are experiencing a new potential issue. RAM and memory prices have skyrocketed in the recent months, with news reporting that demand for these parts have increased due to AI. Because of this, the newest batch of computers that are currently in production will ship to us without SSDs and RAM. We are hoping that the price of those components will go down early next year. If not, we will have to reconsider pricing for the computers.
