This is the new website of KautzCraft dimensional art and crafting. That's me, Daniel Kautz  - AKA "Ramblin Dan". I am showing a simple embossed coffee mug I designed and 3D printed. Most of my designs are produced using 3D printing systems. 

I also love to work with lost wax metal casting. Mostly sterling silver. Another craft I enjoy is LASER cutting and engraving. I use a 20 watt UV LASER and a 5 watt IR LASER. Choice depends on the project material.

CNC rotary tool engraving and machining are another passion I pursue. Near last but not least are metal work with lathes and milling tooling. A complete metal working shop. Perhaps last are my woodworking skills. I was raised in my grandfathers furniture woodworking shop and the smells of sawdust in the air. Yes, I have tools and the skills for real wood-working.

This website may wander off in these many crafting directions. 

It all starts with a design. I have to admit the design is what I love the most. Today design starts with a pencil sketch which quickly evolves into CAD to feed the automated (CNC) controls of many of my machines. 

Hand work is still much of the effort, even with the fully automated 3D printing system.

I hope you enjoy what I have to show...
