Some of the materials we use in CNC Routing are Wood, Plastics, and Aluminum. Below are some examples of our custom work projects.
A CNC (Computer Numerical Control) router is a machine designed to carve out complex shapes from soft materials like wood, plastic, expanded foam, soft metals, and, in some cases steel. A CNC router is limited to relatively thin materials such as wooden boards or metal plates as the cutting tool has limited motion along its z-axis. This process is in contrast to CNC milling machines which have a larger range of motion along the z-axis.
CNC routing is controlled by a computer. Coordinates are uploaded into the machine controller from a separate program. CNC routers are often used with two software applications—one to make designs (CAD) and another to translate those designs into a G-code or M-code program of instructions for the machine (CAM) in vertical, horizontal and perpendicular coordinates.
