THIS MACHINE IS UNIQUE

We've designed this machine to solve the most common problems CNC users find when they start.

A simple and intuitive control

Our touch screen, together with a dedicated keypad will allow you to control this machine the easiest way.

The most compact machine on the market

We know space is always an issue in the beginning. With this machine, what you see is what you get: no need for an external computer or extra room to put your control box. Everything is there.

Do your needs evolve? This machine does too.

It's probably the most unique feature we've developed: this machine is really able to follow you for years. We'd tend to say for a lifetime.

YOUR POSSIBILITIES ARE LIMITLESS

Design any shape and machine them into many different materials like wood, plastics, foams or even aluminium.

WHAT OUR PRO USERS SAY ABOUT US

" Our machine was already profitable after a few projects. I loved building it, so I understand very well how it works, and the learning curve for launching our first project was way below what I expected "

Colin Snaps, TAVU

" As a mechanical engineer, I've built a lot of CNC machines in my life. I was especially motivated by the open source aspect of this machine that allowed me to upgrade it to my needs and I've been thrilled with its overall quality "

Morgan Pellissier, Sparkmate

"I've been an open software guru since 2006 and the idea of acquiring a modular, open source machine appealed directly to me. Moreover, working with a Belgian company that manufactures locally matches our values and needs."

Sylvain Denis, Fab-C

WHAT'S THE UPGRADE ABOUT?

The main difference between CNC machines, besides their price, are their performances in terms of robustness, speed and precision.

With the Evo Series, you'll be able to reach:

Typical cutting speeds in wood of 2500mm/min.
Precision of 0.1mm.
Cutting capabilities in wood, plastics, foams at regular speeds and non-ferrous metals at low speeds.

With the Pro Series, you'll be able to reach:

Typical cutting speeds in wood of 5000mm/min with higher passes (production 6x to 10x faster).
Precision of 0.01mm.
Increased cutting capabilities in hard woods and non-ferrous metals at production speeds, and ferrous metals at low speeds.

WE ARE OPEN SOURCE

To make our machine accessible, we've partner up with Wikifactory to host all our files, mounting guides and ressources as we believe their platform and community host the future of open hardware.

You can already have a look at the open source files of our Pro Series here .

OUR TEAM

In 2018, we launched Mekanika with one idea in mind: facilitate local communities' access to manufacturing processes, through open source tools and quality educational content.

Our objective is to help people create, prototype or produce small series with quality tools and machines, which can be made by themselves or by ordering kits.

We design modular

By designing with modularity in mind, we can improve lifespan, ease repairability and give the possibility to modify or improve the machine for specific uses. It also eases the further development of add-ons and new features.
