At the beginning it was intended to a create a laser engraving machine (prototyping sketches below), but it quickly turned out that a small laser would not be powerful enough to engrave acrylic glass. Because of that a third axis had to be considered. But as the milling tool would be to heavy for the third axis it was now decided to move the working piece.
