Carvey is a 3D carving machine, also known as a CNC router, that uses a subtractive process to carve anything you can imagine.
Attending the monthly Carvey pop-up is required prior to using the Carvey.
Software
Before using Carvey you must create an Easel account. The web-based platform allows you to log in from any computer to access your designs and get carving.
- Select your medium, medium size, and bit size
- Make or import (SVG and g-code accepted) your design
There is no need to save, as this happens automatically in the background on the Easel website.
Using Carvey
Connect your computer to Carvey with a USB cable, log into Easel, and open your design.
- Power on Carvey (switch is located on the right side in the back near the top)
- In the Easel web-software, click the Carve button at the top-right
- Follow the prompts carefully for confirmation of dimensions, medium, and securing your medium
- Carve
We ask that you use the vacuum to clean as best you can inside and around Carvey when done.
