Penta Machine Company is on a mission to advance 5-axis manufacturing by removing the barriers between design and production. We create innovative, approachable, and powerful CNC milling solutions that help startups, thinkers, and makers everywhere — from the lab and classroom to the home shop — bring their big ideas to life.

Since our start in 2011, when husband and wife engineer team Matt and Michelle Hertel created the Pocket NC in a backyard shed, we’ve been dedicated to advancing the spirit of innovation — through our products, and for our customers.

That means we’re always looking for ways to do things differently — to do things better. That means expanding our line of machines and moving the Pocket NC machines under a bigger brand umbrella. 

And, we are expanding our product lines with that same “see the need, create the solution” mindset, exploring better software, automation-ready capabilities, and enhanced ease of use in nearly any space.

Our lineup is growing — from the original Pocket NC and user-friendly Kinetic Control software, look for more (and “bigger”) creations from us.

So whether you’ve been with us from the beginning as a supporter of our record-breaking Kickstarter campaign, or you’ve become a part of our community along the way, thank you. We wouldn’t be here without you — and we can’t wait to create great things together into the future.
