What is CNC router cutting?

CNC Router is a multi-functional machine that control by the computer system. It is mainly focused on 3D processing. It can cut metal and non-metal, by cutting, drilling, trimming, and other processing. It can be applied for making indoor and outdoor decoration, signage board, parts of product, jig, etc. CNC router supports 3D file, which can cut a notch and another 3D shape accurately. The automatic tool change (ATC) function can continue trimming after engraving without reset, which can decrease cumulative error.

Comparison of CNC cutting and other cutting method

Comparison with laser cutting

Laser cutting uses laser beam to burn the material to cut. It can adjust the speed and power for different kind of material and thickness, while CNC cutting adjusts by changing the knife. Laser can cut out a sharp corner, but CNC cutting will have a rounded corner, due to the limit of the knife. Laser cutting is fast, but not all materials can match, therefore CNC cutting can become a complement. Both have an accuracy of 0.05mm, can be used for precise cutting.

Comparison with waterjet cutting

Waterjet uses high pressured water to cut metal and non-metal. Waterjet cutting will cause burr, and the cutting face is not perpendicular. Waterjet is faster than CNC cutting and better for mass production. But it has the cutting aperture of 0.8 to 1.2mm, which has larger tolerance and not suitable for precise processing.

Feature of A1 Workshop

1. A1 Workshop can provide a professional CNC cutting method, which can cut metal and non-metal. Cutting, drilling, trimming, etc. all at once. It is accurate and less tolerant. Also, by using 3D file, your drawing can be made precisely.

2. A1 Workshop has Eisen pin gauge and Mitutoyo caliper.

3. A1 Workshop has blades for different materials, such as knife for acrylic (plastic), wood, metal, aluminum composite.
