Focus on a Belgian FabLab
Sylvain Denis, FabAnimator
"Teaching CNC milling is absolutely mandatory in a FabLab these days, and it's a wonderful technology.
I couldn't dream of a better way to teach them than having access to the only European professional open source machine available."
"What I love about Mekanika is their ability to
make things simple
: their machines are easy to start working with and perfect for teaching, while being fully secured."
Discover Mekanika
Our goal is to help the spread of CNC milling as an open source,
distributed and sustainable way of producing goods.
Advanced CNC, made simple.
We designed this machine with a goal in mind: providing a very reliable and ergonomic desktop CNC router, having high-standard performances at an affordable price .
Tutorials to help makers level up their CNC milling skills
While animators in FabLabs can use CNC machines, we support them with high quality online content! We regularly record new hands-on tutorials and tips, and are always available to collaborate on educational content.
Designed with care
Open-source
We believe in sharing knowledge. Our machines are and will always be entirely open-source.
One machine for life
We’ve featured components that require little maintenance and can be easily replaced. This machine will last a lifetime and every option we'll develop in the future will be compatible.
Minimalist and powerful
We like beautiful machines that still are capable of amazing performance. Our machines are designed knowing that many people will use them, so they get the most out of it.
Transparency
It shouldn't take hours to understand if all the options you need are included in the price you see. We are willing to offer transparent and fair prices on our machines.

Explore endless possibilities
We believe the next step in hand-made products includes being able to work with several materials on a same project. With one machine, you can easily work with dozens of different materials.
Improve your creative workflow
We've confronted traditional woodworking to working with our CNC machine. While it doesn't replace other power tools, it greatly improves the speed of an artisan's workflow.
