Makera has been named the Desktop CNC Machine Company of the Year for 2025 by Manufacturing Technology Insights. The award highlights the company’s innovative technology and its role in redefining desktop CNC machining for the future.
Makera’s flagship products, the Carvera and Carvera Air, provide individuals, educators, scientists, and business owners with the tools to create intricate projects that were once only possible in industrial settings. These machines bring high-precision manufacturing into the desktop, offering users access to advanced production techniques.
Unlike many CNC milling machines, Makera focuses on versatility, developing both machines and software that cater to various projects and materials. Whether making aluminum fixtures, jewelry, wood engravings, carbon fiber drones, or printed circuit boards, users can achieve precise results. The Carvera and Carvera Air also feature auto-calibration and safety functions, making them accessible for beginners and experts alike.
Manufacturing Technology Insights awarded Makera for its innovative products and dedication to providing excellent customer service, including responsive technical support. This recognition is the culmination of the company’s work since its launch in 2021, when founder and CEO Josh Zhang set out to transform the desktop CNC landscape.
To further expand its reach, Makera is increasing its online presence in the U.S. market. Starting June 5, 2025, the Carvera Air will be available on Amazon.com, making high-precision CNC milling machines more accessible to a wider audience. For a limited time, the Carvera Air is offered at a special price of $2,499, with a complimentary Custom Tag Toolkit (available with code S8TXMFAJ) until June 19, 2025. Business buyers can also receive an additional $100 off.
Since the launch of the Carvera in 2021, Makera has been committed to offering exceptional versatility, precision, and reliability to makers. With the Carvera Air, improved CAM software, and expanded retail presence, Makera continues to make CNC machining more accessible to all.
Makera values its user community, which has played a vital role in the company’s success. To engage with users, Makera is hosting the Makera Endless Creation Contest on Reddit from June 4 to July 3, offering a chance to win a $1,000 gift card.
