Comment: If this company is notable, it seems to be notable for litigation, which is in progress and about which there perhaps isn't yet much to say. Why not merge this into the article Cody Wilson? Hoary (talk) 08:19, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

Coast Runner Industries, Inc. is an American desktop CNC milling manufacturing company headquartered in Austin, Texas. It was founded in February 2023 by Cody Wilson, Garret Walliman and others to build on the success of their previous CNC ventures. Coast Runner debuted its first product, the CR-1, on Kickstarter in February of 2024.[1][2]
After Kickstarter and Indiegogo banned Coast Runner's early crowdfunding campaigns for unstated reasons, Coast Runner sued the companies in a federal antitrust action in Texas.[1] This case is ongoing.
History
[edit]Coast Runner previewed early release versions of its CR-1 desktop CNC at CES in Las Vegas in 2024.[3] Ahead of its Kickstarter debut, Coast Runner and the CR-1 were positively reviewed by MAKE magazine.[4]
Litigation
[edit]In May of 2024, San Diego County, joined by The Giffords Law Center, brought suit against Coast Runner in California state court for violating a state law "blocking gun-making milling machines."[5]
On December 9, 2024, Coast Runner, represented by Stone Hilton, filed an antitrust action against Kickstarter, PBC, Indiegogo, Inc. and Launchboom, Inc. in a Texas federal court asking for $30M in damages.[1]
