Farm Design, a product design powerhouse based in Turkey, has been delivering innovative solutions across Europe for over 21 years. Their expertise spans diverse industries—from office furniture and toys to electrical appliances and advanced medical devices. Central to their success has always been rapid, precise prototyping. Yet, until recently, certain limitations hampered their workflow, particularly the need to outsource PCB manufacturing and precision metal parts fabrication.
Everything changed when they brought Makera’s Carvera Desktop CNC into their R&D process.
With an impressive setup including manual lathes, milling machines, 3D printers, injection molding, and vacuum forming capabilities, Farm Design had nearly every prototyping tool at their disposal. Despite this extensive array, they faced considerable bottlenecks in manufacturing accurate, production-ready components in brass, aluminum, and double-sided PCBs. Outsourcing these parts came with long lead times, high minimum order quantities, and excessive costs—challenges that limited their flexibility and slowed innovation.
Before integrating Carvera, Farm Design routinely depended on external CNC workshops for metal parts and PCB fabrication, enduring delays of 3–4 weeks per order. This slowed their iterative design cycles significantly and limited their ability to respond swiftly to client feedback or internal design revisions.
Farm Design introduced the Carvera Desktop CNC to their workshop in December 2024. According to Murat Erciyas, Industrial Designer at Farm Design:
“Since adding the Carvera Desktop CNC, we’ve experienced a major shift in how we prototype, iterate, and validate our designs. It has enabled us to accelerate development, reduce costs, and bring innovative ideas to life faster than ever before.”
Carvera stood out due to its versatility, precision, and compactness, filling the critical gap in their prototyping capabilities.
The integration of Carvera was seamless, swiftly becoming the centerpiece of Farm Design’s in-house manufacturing strategy. Murat shares:
“With Carvera, we now fabricate high-precision components in-house, on-demand, and within hours. It completely eliminated the need for outsourced CNC production, giving us full control over our process and speeding up innovation.”
Farm Design saw immediate benefits:
A standout example of Carvera’s impact was the development of an advanced medical device—a blood separation system operating at extreme forces up to 3000 G. Murat explains:
“This design demanded meticulous engineering and extensive testing with hundreds of brass components. With Carvera, we could make, test, revise, and remake all necessary parts in a single week—something previously impossible without compromising on precision or enduring lengthy delays.”
Farm Design values Carvera for its unmatched versatility. Murat notes:
“Carvera has consolidated multiple fabrication needs into a single machine. It handles brass, aluminum, double-sided PCBs, and even aluminum molds for plastic injection seamlessly—tasks previously requiring separate, specialized machines.”
This versatility reduced their dependence on other equipment, such as their Roland MDX-40A milling machine (which couldn't handle metals) and their Gravotech laser cutter (slower and more labor-intensive for PCB production).
Carvera has profoundly reshaped Farm Design’s timelines, giving them unmatched agility in R&D. Murat emphasizes:
“Carvera allows us to respond to design challenges in real-time, test concepts faster, and deliver superior products to our clients in record time. It has already paid for itself through time and cost savings—and it’s been running nonstop since day one.”
For teams considering integrating Carvera, Murat’s advice is straightforward:
“If you’re serious about prototyping and pushing the boundaries of what your team can achieve, Carvera is more than just a CNC machine—it’s a strategic R&D asset.”
Farm Design’s satisfaction with Carvera is clear—they’re already planning to add a second Carvera unit to meet increasing demand and support parallel project developments.
Farm Design’s experience demonstrates the profound impact Carvera can have on innovation-driven teams. By accelerating prototyping cycles, reducing costs, and enabling real-time design iterations, Carvera has proven to be indispensable. Farm Design’s successful integration of Carvera underscores Makera’s commitment to providing high-quality, innovative solutions designed specifically for forward-thinking professionals.
