01

Programmed precision.
Repeatable results.

CNC machining removes human variability from the equation. Every cut, every route, every engraving is exactly the same — whether you're ordering 1 piece or 1,000.

01
CNC Cutting
Precise, computer-controlled cutting for complex shapes and tight tolerances on plastic sheet materials. Ideal for production runs requiring exact repeatability across every piece.

Materials we CNC
cut and route.

CNC machining works across our full range of plastic materials. Each type has specific feed rates and tooling requirements — we've dialed them all in over 45+ years.

Common questions.

What's the difference between CNC cutting and laser cutting?

CNC cutting uses a physical tool bit to machine material, while laser cutting uses a focused beam of light. CNC is better for thicker materials, 3D geometries, and materials that don't respond well to heat. Laser is ideal for thin materials, fine detail, and materials like acrylic that get a polished edge from the laser. We offer both and can recommend the best approach for your project.

What tolerances can CNC achieve on plastic?

Our CNC equipment achieves tight tolerances suitable for production parts, close-fit assemblies, and precision components. Exact tolerances depend on the material and geometry — contact us with your specs and we'll confirm what's achievable.

Can you do CNC work from my CAD files?

Yes. We accept DXF, DWG, AI, and other standard vector formats. If you have a drawing, sketch, or even just measurements, our team can work with whatever you have to program the job.
