What customers are saying about Easel

“Easel has upgraded many times since I started using it and keeps getting better.”
‍‍
Pete C.

"I have zero experience or training in CNC operations. With a little trial and error, I was up and running. I now sell my products at an area farmer's market, and the response has been overwhelming. Thanks."

Stu V.

"Easy to install and to understand. I was impressed by the free version for the first month and that made me buy the 3 year contract"
‍
Les T.

“Easy to use and the mock ups are in real time. I can go from idea to project shorter than it takes me to go get the materials.”
‍
Jack G.

“Easel has a great blend of simplicity and capability, allowing the new hobbyist to get started without being overwhelmed, while supporting advanced capabilities to allow the hobbyist to grow and advance in their skills and the projects they can undertake.”
