Hello everyone. I'm thinking about building a core XY and possibly adding cnc or laser cutting in the future and was wondering if the duet could handle that.

The firmware for the Duet (RepRapFirmware) is designed to drive 3D printers. It has also been used for paste extruders and I think for laser engravers, but I do not know of anyone who had adapted it for driving a laser cutter or a CNC machine.
