We stock several types of common materials like MDF, Plywood, and Plastics. Easy quick jobs with a readily available cheap material have a lower cost that complicated parts cut from a expensive sheet of exotic imported material. Around the perimeter leave at least 1.5” and at least 1” between each part.Be sure your drawing vectors are closed and for 3D carving that your meshes are “Water Tight” or “Manifold”.If you have ay questions let us know and we will do our best to help.After we have discussed your project details we will make you aware of any concerns or issues with your part design, files, or material choice and provide you with an estimate based on the following factors:Complexity and Size - The cost is based off of how long it takes to cut the part, so smaller intricate parts with many curves or corners may take longer to cut than larger basic parts with fewer details.Material Choice and Availability - Materials vary greatly in cost, availability, as well as how easy or difficult they are to cut. If you have already created a layout for your parts to be cut take care to ensure there is enough space left between them. If you need them nested in a special way, like wood grain or texture orientation just let us know. If you do explode them to simple vectors.Join all lines to form closed paths Leave enough space around each part in your file so that we can easily select them to create a layout for cutting.Let us layout or “nest” your parts for cutting on the machine.
It does not have the ability to tilt the cutting bit and can not do undercuts like a cave. Because of the extreme cutting forces required for CNC routing and inconsistencies in some materials it’s realistic to expect it will take one or two tries to create a production ready file developed for manufacturing.The CNC router can not do undercuts as it moves on three axes (X axis) front/back, (Y axis) left/right, and (Z axis) up/down. This added precision is possible but may take cutting, tweaking, and recutting several parts before the desired accuracy is achieved, thus taking more time, adding more cost.Not all parts can be cut first try. See the section "Tips for Preparing Files" for more information.File Programming - Complex parts with several cutting functions and bit changes often take a decent amount of time to program which adds to the cost.Time Frame - We strive to turn around your parts in a timely manner, some parts require a rush which adds to the cost, while other parts are not needed quickly which allows us to add them to our production schedule when we are slow which can reduce the cost.Precision - The CNC router’s standard cuts are very accurate, however some parts may require a greater level of precision. It is most cost effective to prove nice, clean, and well organized files. The time required to create your design will affect the cost.File Preparation - Any time spent on prepping your files for cutting will affect the cost.
Wood Carving Program For Cnc Registration Marks And
This technique allows the radius of the cutter to be removed from the bottom of slots. The 'Dog-Bone' and 'T-Bone' fillets allow tool paths to ‘notch’ the inside corners of slots and grooves, allowing mating parts to fit flush against the true base of the pocket. Our programming software also has options to do “Bone Filleting” to the internal corners to help ensure parts cut from sheet materials will slot together after cutting. However our router has the capability to clean-up the corners by recutting just the corners after the initial cut with a 1/8” diameter bit reducing the corner radius down to just 1/16”. As a result the internal corners of the cuts will have a radius equal to the radius of the cutting bit. We use registration marks and pins to get the alignment of the cuts within 1/16”, many times we can get the alignment precision to be much greater.The CNC router uses a round bit to make its profile cuts.
Because our CNC is equipped with a vacuum hold down we are able to cut some materials like high pressure laminate and plastic sheets as thin as 1/32”.Materials larger than 49” x 97” and over 2” thick for wood and over 4” thick for foam. Our laser cutting capabilities are better suited for that application. However we do have business relationships with other fabrication shops that can handle those hard materials and many more.The CNC router does not cut very thin materials like paper, fabric, or thin plastic. Contact us with your corner requirements and we can help to find a solution for your application.The CNC router can not cut hard materials like steel, stainless steel, glass, stone, concrete, etc. Where a precision fit is needed.
