Functions of CNC Router


2D Engraving


CNC router can be used to make precise cuts and engravings on two-dimensional flat materials. For example, it can be used to make signs, billboards, stickers, panels, gaskets, etc. Through the path generated by CAD/CAM software, the machine is able to cut along the preset trajectory, thus achieving high-precision flat design.


2.5D Engraving


2.5D engraving refers to engraving or cutting on the two-dimensional surface of a three-dimensional object. For example, patterns can be engraved on the surface of furniture or relief effects can be processed on acrylic.


3D Engraving


CNC router can perform three-dimensional stereoscopic engraving and is suitable for sculpture, artwork, model making and other fields. For example, it can engrave complex three-dimensional shapes and contours such as statues, stair railings, columns, etc.


Drilling and Milling


CNC router is also able to perform drilling and milling operations for manufacturing parts, molds or models. For example, it can drill holes of different diameters or mill complex grooves and surfaces.


CNC Router Material Application

Acrylic: Cast Acrylic, Extruded Acrylic, Acrylic Sheet, Hard Thermoplastic Acrylic

Plastic: KT board, PVC board, HDPE

Cloth: synthetic fiber fabrics, composite fabrics, silk, nylon, polyester, cotton, leather, etc.

Foam: polystyrene foam (EPS), high-density polyurethane foam (HDU), polyethylene foam (PE), polyurethane foam (PU), hard polystyrene foam, EVA foam

Rubber: hard rubber, silicone rubber, EPDM rubber, nitrile rubber, polyurethane rubber

Cardboard: corrugated cardboard, honeycomb cardboard, pressed cardboard (Grey Board), custom composite cardboard

Film: PC film, acrylic film, polyvinyl chloride film

Wood: hardwood, cork, artificial wood

Soft metal: aluminum, copper, aluminum foil

Others: Magnet Sheet, other composite materials


CNC Router Industrial Application


Advertisement: It can be used to make PVC board billboards, wooden billboards, aluminum-plastic board billboards, etc. In the advertising industry, logo making is another major application of CNC routers. It can be used to make various types of logos, such as shop signs, road signs, signboards, etc.

Sticker: CNC router can be used to cut complex patterns or texts to make stickers with personalized designs to meet the needs of the advertising and decoration industries.

Decoration: CNC router can be used to make small parts decorations, furniture, interior decorations and wooden panels.

Model making: It can be used to make prototypes of 3D models, such as mold models, car models, ship models, architectural models, etc.

Label: It can be used to make functional labels and advertising labels. These labels can be made of a variety of materials, such as ABS, Acrylic, HDPE, LEXAN, PETG, PVC, UHMW, etc.

Gasket making: It can process gasket materials of various shapes and sizes, including rubber, plastic, compressed fiber, etc.

Packaging design: It can be used to make packaging solutions, such as foam padding, protective packaging and display packaging, etc. These applications can meet the packaging needs of different products, including luxury goods, daily necessities and items that require special protection.

Apparel: It can be used to cut clothing patterns, create complex tie patterns, and batch cut fabrics such as denim.

General woodworking: It can be used for the production of signage, cabinets, architectural decoration, and wooden prototypes.


Advantages of CNC Router in Application


1. CNC routers are both efficient and precise, ensuring that each cut is highly consistent while achieving continuous processing.

2. CNC routers can be customized and adjusted according to different design requirements, supporting flexible production processes. For example, some models of Signkey have different table functions and size options.

3. CNC routers can be used for both large-scale production and small-batch customized projects. For example, in label production, it can quickly cut a large amount of material. In creative projects, it can also achieve personalized design alone.

4. With the development of technology, modern CNC routers have gradually integrated more intelligent functions, such as automatic tool changers, high-speed rotating spindles, and advanced control systems. These technological improvements have further improved the performance and reliability of CNC routers.
