Bursa-based desktop CNC technologies startup Rownd Precision has secured $600,000 in funding through Yeni Nesil Teknoloji GSYF and Ostim GSYF, both managed by APY Ventures. With this investment, the company aims to scale its production capacity and accelerate its growth in global markets.
Rownd Precision is led by Ahmet Yasir Karakuş, Dr. Enes H. Ergün, Tayfun Gümüş, and Avni Pazarbaşı, and focuses on transforming traditional CNC machining by bringing industrial-grade precision into a desktop form factor.
Industrial Precision in a Desktop Form Factor
What sets Rownd Precision apart is its fully in-house developed electronics and software architecture. The company’s systems can process industrial G-code directly, enabling even users with no prior manufacturing experience to achieve factory-level precision using compact desktop machines.
This approach significantly lowers the barriers to CNC manufacturing for:
- Small workshops
- Entrepreneurs and makers
- Designers
- R&D teams
- Educational institutions
By eliminating high costs, space requirements, and the need for specialized operators, Rownd Precision is democratizing access to CNC technology.
From Kickstarter Success to Global Markets
After gaining early traction and validation through a successful Kickstarter campaign, Rownd Precision transitioned into serial production. Today, the company exports its products to:
- 6 continents
- More than 40 countries worldwide
The startup recently expanded its product portfolio by unveiling a new 5-axis desktop CNC machine at CES 2025, targeting more complex and high-precision manufacturing use cases.
Scaling Up with Fresh Capital
The $600,000 investment will be allocated toward:
- Increasing production capacity
- Accelerating product development
- Building stronger global sales and distribution networks
Commenting on the investment, Ahmet Yasir Karakuş, Founder and CEO of Rownd Precision, stated:
“By removing the high cost and expertise barriers of traditional industrial manufacturing, we deliver factory-grade precision on a desktop. This investment marks a major step toward making our technology accessible to a much broader audience.”
