CNC Routers

Looking for a CNC router in Europe? At Mr Resin we have the Makera Carvera Air, an enclosed desktop CNC with quick tool changes for aluminium, brass, PCBs and wood, and the large-format TwoTrees TTC-H40, with a 1000 × 1000 mm working area for signs, carved reliefs and furniture parts. Both shipped from Spain.

What can you make with a CNC router?

It carves instead of burning. A CNC removes material with a spinning cutter, so it can make 3D reliefs, pockets, joints and parts in aluminium or brass, things a diode laser can't do. Think carved signs, raised letters, furniture parts, moulds, printed circuit boards or mechanical parts.

Which one should you choose?

Makera Carvera Air: compact and enclosed, for working at home or in the workshop on parts up to 300 × 200 mm. Go for this one if you want soft metals, PCBs and precision.

TwoTrees TTC-H40: open-frame and large format, 1000 × 1000 mm. It's for wood and big sheets: signs, cabinet doors, reliefs. It needs space, a solid table and dust extraction.

Safety: dust, chips and noise

Milling is noisy and throws up chips and fine dust, especially with MDF. Wear safety glasses, clamp the workpiece properly and extract dust while you work. Enclosed machines like the Carvera Air keep the chips in and cut the noise; open-frame ones need more care and a proper workshop.

CNC router comparison

Machine	Working area	Spindle	Type
Makera Carvera Air	300 × 200 × 130 mm	200 W, up to 13,000 rpm	Enclosed, desktop
TwoTrees TTC-H40	1000 × 1000 × 100 mm	500 W	Open-frame, large format

CNC, laser or 3D printer?

Each machine does its own job: a laser engraves and cuts flat material, a CNC carves in relief and machines soft metals, and a resin 3D printer or a filament one builds solid parts from scratch. No printer? We can print your parts for you with our custom 3D printing service.

CNC router FAQs

A CNC removes material with a spinning cutter, so it can carve reliefs and machine aluminium. A laser burns the surface or cuts thin material. It's faster for engraving, but it can't carve deep.

Yes, if it has a rigid, well-mounted spindle. The Makera Carvera Air is designed for aluminium and brass as well as wood and PCBs. Large-format wood routers struggle more with metal.

An enclosed, compact one like the Carvera Air, yes, because it keeps the chips and the noise in. A large open-frame machine belongs in a garage or workshop.

A CAM program that turns your design into toolpaths: the manufacturer's own software, Fusion 360 or similar. Each product page lists the software the manufacturer recommends.

For wood, flat end mills plus ball nose bits for reliefs. For aluminium, single or two-flute end mills made for metal. Start with the set that comes with the machine and add to it as you go.

Yes, a CNC is louder than a laser or a 3D printer, especially cutting hardwood or aluminium. Enclosed machines dampen it quite a lot.

On open-frame machines, yes: chips and MDF dust go everywhere. Ideally hook up a vacuum or dust extractor, or at least vacuum between passes.

Some take an optional laser module, like the Carvera Air. If you engrave a lot, a dedicated laser engraver is faster.

With the Makera Carvera Air, yes, it's one of its main uses: it mills traces and drills copper boards. PCBs need precision, and a compact enclosed machine does that better than a large-format one.

It depends on the working area: the Carvera Air handles 300 × 200 mm and the TwoTrees TTC-H40 goes up to 1000 × 1000 mm. Choose based on the biggest part you'll make regularly.
