CNC Routing Service with a 5 × 10 ft Bed
Large-format CNC routing and 3D wood carving on a 5 × 10 ft bed. PrintAWorld routes full sheets of wood, MDF, plastics, laminate, aluminum and high-density urethane sign foam, and carves 3D reliefs from STP files, for signs, wall panels, props, displays and architectural models. A person reviews every file before quoting. Pick up by appointment at our Queens or Brooklyn studio, or we ship across the U.S.
Large-format CNC
What can a 5 × 10 ft CNC router make?
A bed that takes stock up to 5 × 10 feet lets us cut full sheets in one setup: large signs and letters, wall panels, furniture and interior parts, props and display pieces, and the contoured bases of architectural models.
The same router carves in 3D. From an STP file we rough and finish reliefs, carved signs and sculptural surfaces in wood, MDF and high-density urethane (HDU) foam. A person reviews the file, hold-down and tooling before we quote.

Before you order
Questions about large-format CNC routing.
How big is your CNC bed?
Our CNC router takes stock up to 5 × 10 feet, so a standard 4 × 8 ft sheet fits. The usable cut area depends on the material, thickness, hold-down and tooling; we confirm the fit in your quote.
Do you offer 3D wood carving?
Yes. We carve reliefs, carved signs and sculptural surfaces in wood, MDF and high-density urethane foam from an STP (STEP) file. If you only have an image, we can model it first; 3D modeling starts at $250.
Can you carve HDU foam signs?
Yes. High-density urethane (HDU) foam board is one of our standard CNC materials for carved and dimensional signs and props. Tell us the thickness, finish and whether the sign goes indoors or outdoors.
Do you CNC route architectural models?
Yes: contoured site bases, large model parts and panels, like the boat house model shown here. For fine card or thin acrylic parts, we laser cut them in the same studios.
What materials can go on the 5 × 10 ft bed?
Wood, plywood, MDF, plastics, high-density urethane foam board, high-pressure laminate and aluminum. We review the grade, thickness and tooling before quoting.
How much does large-format CNC routing cost?
It’s quoted per project. Sheet count and thickness, machining and carving time, tooling, finishing, crating and your deadline set the price. Send your file with the material and quantity, and a person replies with a written price.
How long does a CNC project take?
Machining time depends on the material, size, carving depth and quantity, and the schedule also covers review, material and finishing. Your written quote confirms the date.
Can you deliver large CNC parts?
Yes. Pick up by appointment in Glendale, Queens or Brooklyn, or we crate the parts and quote freight to your ZIP code anywhere in the U.S.
