Carvey

Carvey CNC Milling MachineCarvey is a desktop 3D CNC carving machine. It features a fully enclosed area to keep the noise and debris inside the space.  We have two Carveys available for use. 

It comes with Easel, a free design software. Users will be able to choose whether they want to cut or engrave designs, and they can control the depth of differents line. 

The Innovation Studio has Plywood and Clear Acrylic pieces available to users, though patrons are always welcome to bring in their own material.
