The Creality CP-01 is a multifunction 3-in-1 device produced by the popular Creality 3D. It works as an FDM 3D printer, laser engraver, and CNC machine. Switching from a function to another is pretty simple thanks to the modular design with interchangeable toolheads. The three modules feature a universal connector and can be replaced in only 30 seconds.
The Creality CP-01 comes as a kit with the main units pre-assembled. You’ll only have to screw the base unit and the top frame together to have it up and running in minutes. The printer structure consists of industrial-grade V-slot aluminum profiles with pulleys and adopts a full belt drive. This makes for great stability, precise movement, and durability. The machine is engineered with Ming Wei power supply with auto-adaptive voltage regulation. The modular frame enables further upgrades and improvements. The fitted touch screen makes for easy operation.
As a desktop 3D printer, it provides a decent print volume of 200 x 200 x 200mm. It is equipped with a manually-calibrated heated print bed. The leveling process can be performed through ergonomic easy-leveling nuts. One of the CP-01 3D printer noteworthy features surely is the resume printing option. In case of a power outage, it lets you restart a job from where it stopped without affecting the final print quality.
As a laser engraver, it supports different laser powers. This makes it capable of processing a wide selection of materials. The CNC module features a fast rotational speed, which makes for smooth surfaces and neat details.
The Creality CP-01 is a versatile consumer-grade machine that works pretty well. It sells at a good price point, being ideal for both hobbyists and makers. Let’s read our CP-01 review to learn more about its functions.

The Creality CP-01 comes stock with a single 0.4 mm nozzle, giving you the best balance between speed and detail. It can be equipped with a set of different nozzles, ranging from 0.6mm to 1.2mm in diameter.
The machine adopts a full belt drive, a 42-40 stepper motor, and a 42-34 threaded rod motor for stable performance and steady movement. The print head runs on V-slot profiles with pulleys. This makes the design more simple, lightweight and effective, all characteristics that are desirable in a 3D printer.
With a spindle speed of 4,800 rpm and good positioning accuracy, the CNC cutting module lets you produce artworks with top-notch finishes and neat edges. It is capable of shaping a broad range of materials, from soft to hard ones.

To ensure high reproducibility, we recommend installing an enclosure. This way the print quality would not be affected by temperature fluctuations as a result of drafts and other factors.
The machine adopts an HRC55 4F tungsten steel milling cutter. It can carve, cut and engrave almost any kind of material, including wood, paper, PCB, plastic, leather and more.

The print area of 7.87 x 7.87 x 7.87 inches (200 x 200 x 200 mm) lets you produce medium-sized 3D models without splitting them into parts. The CNC cutting head works on a surface of 7.87 x 7.87 inches (200 x 200 mm), while the laser engraving area measures 3.93 x 7.48 inches (100 x 190mm).
On the top bottom of the machine, a built-in 4.3-inch touch screen lets you directly operate the device. The intuitive, icon-based interface makes for seamless user experience.
The CP-01 can work both online via a USB-paired computer or offline through a TF card.
The printer software runs on Windows (XP and above), Mac OS, and Linux. As a 3D printing slicing software, you can use both Cura or Simplify3D. Indeed, the Creality CP-01 supports STL, OBJ, and AMF files. It can engrave and cut files in SVG, BMP, NG, PG, and DXF formats.
The Creality CP-01 3-in-1 3D printer kit includes:
