dc.description.abstract	CNC carving machines play a significant role in modern industries and crafts, particularly in fields such as woodworking, plastic fabrication, and artistic engraving. This project presents the design and implementation of a CNC machine dedicated to carving and engraving on wood and plastic materials with high precision. The system operates on three axes (X, Y, Z) controlled by an Arduino microcontroller integrated with the GRBL Web interface via a serial connection. This interface facilitates essential functions such as defining the carving dimensions, adjusting operational settings, and converting digital designs into G-code instructions for seamless execution. The project was developed through several phases: starting with the mechanical design of the three-axis structure and base, followed by programming the Arduino controller and testing the axis movements to ensure accuracy. Subsequently, the system was integrated with the GRBL Web platform, enabling users to upload designs, convert them into G-code, and manage the machine efficiently. Final testing focused on achieving reliable communication between hardware and software components to deliver optimal carving performance on both wood and plastic. Unlike conventional CNC systems, this project emphasizes ease of use and adaptability, making it suitable for small workshops, prototyping, and custom artistic production.
