Root 4 Lite CAD Models (STEP/STP)

Description

Root 4 Lite – Professional 3D CAD Model (STEP/STP)

The Root 4 Lite is a compact, high-performance CNC machine model designed to be affordable, scalable, and reliable. Supplied in STEP/STP format, this CAD model is ready for direct use in SolidWorks, Fusion 360, AutoCAD, CATIA, Siemens NX, and other major platforms.

Built on the principles of accessibility and precision, Root 4 Lite uses:

• Ball screw motion for smooth, accurate movement.

• NEMA 17 stepper motors — easy to source, reliable, and proven.

• Linear guides on the Z-axis for stable cutting and engraving.

• 3D-printable components combined with standard off-the-shelf hardware, keeping costs low.

• VFD spindle compatibility, opening the door for professional-grade machining.

The default working area is approximately 224 × 280 × 60 mm (XYZ), making it ideal for small to mid-scale projects, with scope for scaling if needed.
