Carvera Air Desktop CNC機器

I'm really enjoying learning and creating new things with this cutting-edge machine.
I'm very proud to have been one of the Kickstarter supporters of this machine.

Thank you, Makera!
Wishing you all the best.

The hardware exceeds my expectations. Robust and reliable. The software, however, is in great need of improvement. CAM crashes regularly and the Controller is easy to make mistakes in. However, an updated version has already been released with some improvements so I am hopeful regarding future further updates.

Waited soo long for the Carvera Air, and after spending some time with it, I can confidently say it is an impressive machine that balances ease of use with precision and versatility.

Unboxing & Setup:
The machine arrived well-packaged, proctected but and assembly was minimal. Lift out/up was not easy from the box, because maschine is quite heavy ~30kg.

Build Quality & Design
The all-metal enclosure gives it a sturdy feel, reducing vibrations and ensuring a precise cut. The integrated dust collection system keeps the workspace clean, which is a significant improvement over other CNC machines in this price range.

Performance
The auto-calibration feature is a game-changer, eliminating the usual trial-and-error process of setting up a CNC, it speeds up workflow significantly in case of PCB milling. Have ordered the 4-axis addon which allows for more complex designs, making it suitable for both beginners and professionals. I went through the included guide and with the includded materials within minutes, I was able to start my first project.

Makera CAM Software
Now, one of the standout features of the Carvera ecosystem is the Makera CAM software. It is user-friendly and streamline the CNC workflow, making it accessible even for beginners. The software integrates seamlessly with the machine, allowing for quick toolpath generation, automatic tool changing, and material setup.
Beside Makera's own CAM software found it especially helpful that maschine supports Fusion 360, SVG, and standard G-code, meaning I can easily transition from my preferred design software.

Final Verdict
The Makera Carvera Air is an excellent CNC machine for makers, hobbyists, and professionals looking for precision, automation, and ease of use. The Makera CAM software simplifies the workflow, and the combination of auto-calibration, and 4-axis, laser addon support makes this machine a powerhouse. While it may require some learning for complete beginners, the automation features significantly reduce the effort needed to get started. Overall, it’s a well-thought-out CNC machine that delivers on its promises, and I’m excited to explore its full potential. I am waiting more addons and SW features/improvements from Makera!

I am new to CNC. The Air is my first and so far it's proving to be a fantastic machine. It's easy to use and I'm already producing parts from wood and metal. I've enjoyed the learning process which is made better thanks to the features you get with the Air, such as quick change collet. The hardware seems really good. the software is improving, that is the only reservation for not awarding 5 stars. I'm very happy with my purchase.

If you're just getting into CNC and you're not sure where to start, Makera has the best offer on the market if you want an all-inclusive entry to the CNC world.
I backed the Air on Kickstarter so I especially got a good price but even at the full price I think its worth it and all the accessories/bits/materials have been up to par. I think the Makera ecosystem and products are all good stuff.
I've only had one issue with my carvera which was quickly solved by the community on discord. Ever since the machine is working flawlessly.
I've made quite a few parts in aluminum, and I'm looking forward to trying the Lazer and carbon fiber once I get a proper vac system.
I can't give it 5 stars because there are some minor quirks and features they overlooked in the rush of bringing this thing to the market. But overall it does make chips and I'm happy.
