What can CNC routing be used to make?
PrintAWorld uses CNC routing for the applications below. The 5-by-10-foot machine bed describes the maximum stock area, not a promise that every material or design can use the full bed; geometry, hold-down, tooling, thickness, handling, and finishing still require review.
- Signs
- Art fabrication
- Furniture components
- Custom props
- Architectural and interior-design parts
- Relief carvings
- Decorative wall panels
How does a CNC routing project move into production?
A CNC routing project moves into production only after the files, material, scope, price, and schedule are reviewed and approved in writing. The project-specific written quote controls what is included.
- Send the available STP or vector file and project requirements.
- Confirm the material, dimensions, quantity, features, finish, and delivery plan.
- Approve the written quote before material preparation and routing begin.
- Complete the quoted finishing, packing, pickup, or nationwide U.S. delivery.
