3D Carving Machines

The Carvey 3D Carving Machine Can Sculpt Different Materials

— October 23, 2014 — Tech
The Carvey is an incredible desktop 3D carving machine that allows you to sculpt a wide variety of materials including wood, plastic and metal into any object.

The system comes with a special software called Easel, and is designed to be plug-and-play. Its developers claim that using the system is as easy as plugging in the Carvey, designing your object on your computer, choosing and inserting the material you would like to use and pushing a button.

The developers of the Carvey Desktop 3D printer are running a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds for its production. A pledge of $1,999 or more will allow you to pre-order a Carvey complete with a starter kit. It will be shipped in September 2015 if the campaign hits its fundraising goal.
