Carvey CNC Router

About the Machine

The Carvey is a fully closed Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machine that can carve into various materials. The Carvey in the SHU IDEA Lab is used for creating your own custom PCB boards. Making custom PCB boards can make an electronics project more condensed, saves time, makes the project easier to duplicate, and reduces the amount of soldering needed.

We have ONE Carvey CNC machine at the SHU IDEA Lab.

Specifications

The Carvey has a carving area of 11.6” x 8” (approximately 30cm x 20cm) in the X and Y axes respectively. It has a Z axis that varies in length, but has an overall clearance from the waste board to the cutting head of 90mm and a maximum travel of 80mm.
