Harness sophisticated precision with the approachability of human-focused design.

The Real-World Power of 5-Axis Machines
Education & Training
Penta helps reduce the barriers to machining training so more people can learn and perfect advanced machining skills. From high schools and universities to research labs and vocational programs, our portable, powerful 5-axis machines and user-friendly software take up very little space and operate off standard wall power.
Industry & Manufacturing
From startups to established companies across a wide range of industries, our machines facilitate rapid prototyping and on-the-fly design iterations, making it possible for specialized parts to be manufactured in nontraditional shop environments with high accuracy and consistent results.
KINETIC CONTROL
We’re dedicated to advancing the spirit of innovation — through our products, and for our customers.
Our revolutionary Software Control and User Interface supports TCPC (tool point control center). The 5-axis industry standard makes programming more intuitive, with the highest level of precision.
The Penta Team
Cofounded in 2011 by husband and wife engineer team Matt and Michelle Hertel, Penta was born with the creation of the Pocket NC. Our products are made in-house in our Belgrade, Montana warehouse by our small but growing team of creative problem-solvers, talented hard workers, and open-minded thinkers who value curiosity, collaboration, and perfection in the details.
