ABOUT INVENTABLES
Inventables is a 3D carving company offering a powerful machine, intuitive software and unique materials that make carving easy and inspiring. Easel, our free design platform, is the most accessible and user-friendly design software on the market. Paired with our affordable carving machine, X-Carve, makers of all abilities can design and produce their first piece in minutes. Our store provides makers with access to a variety of machine bits and unique materials to make amazing projects.
At the heart of Inventables is our community of makers. Each day our community comes together to share ideas, post projects and provide support and inspiration through our project library, social channels and online forum. Together, our ecosystem of offerings supports makers as they express their creativity and build their own businesses.
We’re enabling this by building the best ecosystem. We make the software designers use, the machines that turn their designs into real objects, and their supply chain for materials and bits. This control over the whole stack allows us to craft the best experience for our customers.
