Carbide 3D - Nomad 883 Pro
A fully integrated, ready-to-run CNC mill that's at home in any environment
CNC machines are capable of making beautiful parts – if you know how to use them.
The Nomad 883 Pro is not just another CNC milling machine, we designed it to make machining something that normal people can do.
All of the complexity of traditional CNC machines is handled in the background.
This is only possible because of our highly-integrated hardware and software, something that isn’t possible if you have to find your own software to run the machine.
The Nomad 883 Pro includes all of the hardware and software you need to take your 3D file and make a part. We’ve taken the uncertainty and frustration out of the equation, just open the box and get started.
Make Prototypes
Whatever materials you need to work in, whatever CAD program you use, the Nomad can do it.
Make Jewelry
Whether you work in wax or directly in metal, the Nomad is capable of the fine detail you need.
Make PCB's
The Nomad has the precision to do PCB milling with ease, even with SMT components.
Plastic is Easy
Plastic machines really well on the Nomad:
- ABS
- Acrylic
- Delrin
- HDPE
Wood is No Problem
Any kind of wood is suitable for the Nomad, from pine to maple, oak, or the even more exotic species.
Cut Small Metal Parts
Soft metals, like aluminum and brass up to .25" thick cut well on the Nomad.
Engrave Parts
The Nomads spindle is fast and has low run out- it's perfect for engraving jobs.
Cut Inlays
The Nomad is accurate enough to cut inlays and pockets that fit together perfectly.
Full 3D Cutting
You're not limited to simple 2D cuts. The Nomad can do complex, flowing organic shapes with ease.

A Complete Software Solution
The Nomad 883 Pro comes with all the software you need to make parts:
- Carbide Motion - Your machine controller
- MeshCAM - 3D CAM Software to help machine your existing CAD files
- Carbide Create - 2D CAD/CAM if you need to start from a blank page. See more here
If you have a favorite CAM program and work flow The Nomad 883 will work with it. Carbide Motion can read gcode from any CAM program so you’ll never be locked into proprietary software.
MeshCAM, Carbide Create and Carbide Motion are cross-platform so you can run them on a Windows or Mac computer.
A Real Spindle for Real Work
The Nomad 883 Pro uses our third-generation spindle driven by a high-power brushless DC motor. We didn’t stop there though, we designed our own driver from the ground up with closed-loop speed control.
What does that mean for you?
The Nomad 883 Pro has a durable and quiet spindle that’s capable of cutting a variety of materials without being so loud that it drives you out of the room.
Award Winning
The Nomad 883 was named “Best CNC Mill” by Make: Magazine in their “Ultimate Guide to Desktop Fabrication 2016” based on testing by 16 industry experts.
