## Description

Makera Carvera is a compact desktop CNC designed for precision work with built‑in automation and clean operation. It combines auto tool changing, auto probing, an internal dust collection system, an in-built laser and support for an optional 4th axis.

### Auto Tool Changing & Auto Probing

Automatically swap [end mills](https://core-electronics.com.au/cnc-machines/makera/cnc-bits.html) and engraving bits on the Makera Carvera desktop CNC router to minimise manual setup and accelerate precision milling, PCB routing and part fabrication. The integrated auto-probe sensor handles workpiece positioning and tool calibration for consistent accuracy and precision in any project.

### Built-In Dust Collection

The Makera Carvera desktop CNC router includes an integrated dust collection and extraction system that captures chips and debris at the spindle head. The built-in vacuum module maintains a clean work area, reduces airborne dust, and makes cleanup for wood, plastic and PCB milling simple.

Or supercharge extraction with [the Makera Cyclone extractor](https://core-electronics.com.au/makera-cyclone-dust-collector.html) - with a much larger capacity and more powerful extraction.

### Integrated Laser Module

Leave your mark on materials with a 2.5W diode laser - built right into the gantry. No interuptions or tool changes between CNC milling and engraving.

### Optional 4th Axis Module

Enhance the Makera Carvera desktop CNC router with the [optional 4th axis rotary module](https://core-electronics.com.au/makera-carvera-4th-axis-module-expansion.html) for true 4-axis simultaneous machining. Perform cylindrical machining, double-sided routing and full 3D relief carving on shafts, tubes and complex contours with 360° part rotation.

### Endless Capabilities

- **PCBs:** Load Gerber or PCB routing files into the Makera Carvera desktop CNC router for [on-request PCB milling](https://core-electronics.com.au/makera-cnc-pcb-fabrication-pack.html). Auto tool changing, auto-levelling, a solder-mask removal tool, and an optional laser engraving module streamline your electronics prototyping workflow.
- **Robot Parts:** CNC mill durable plastics, aluminium and composites to produce load-bearing brackets, gears and mounts stronger than 3D-printed alternatives - no outsourcing required.
- **Artwork:** Carve intricate designs in wood, acrylic, metal or [a range of other materials](https://core-electronics.com.au/cnc-machines/makera/materials.html) with the Carvera’s high-speed spindle. Achieve smooth surfaces and fine detail, exactly as you designed it.
- **Custom, unique useful... Stuff:** There really isn't much you can't make with the Carvera, so design and make custom parts that work for you!
