The history of STEPCRAFT started in December 2012 when Peter Urban and Markus Wedel founded the CNC manufacturer STEPCRAFT in Iserlohn. Development, planning and coordination took place in just 8 m². The idea of offering a CNC machine home, which can be equipped with a variety of CNC accessories, such as a milling motor, a drag knife or a 3D print head, was immediately well received. The D-Series was in fact so well received, that the founders started to rent additional room only four months later. Until the beginning of 2015 additional 370 m² were added as the demand for STEPCRAFT mechanical engineering increased steadily.
