I always liked the Starship USS Voyager from the Star Trek TV series. Everyone wants to make the Enterprise, but I like the sleek elegant look of the Voyager, so I set out to find a good 3D model of it online. As always, I went to google and asked where I might find said…
Yes, It’s true, I made t-shirts and Christmas cards with the CarveWright! I used an old process called block printing. It’s been around forever, and many of you have probably even done it before. Traditionally, one would trace an image onto a block of some sort, carve away (by hand) the negative space to create…

CarveWright’s CNC systems from the early models to the new RAVEN are the only CNC machines in size capacity and price range using servo motors. You usually only find servos on large, expensive industrial machines that require accuracy and high torque at high speeds. To understand why we use this technology in our machines rather…
