What We Do / CNC Routing
CNC Routing
CNC Routing and Knife
Cutting for Complex Materials
From foam, wood and acrylic to aluminium and printed graphics, our CNC routing service cuts, profiles and finishes a wider range of materials than a standard router – on one machine, in-house.
We operate a Trident CNC Router at our facility in Hampshire.
Capabilities
Our CNC Routing Capability
Our CNC router cuts parts for signage, transport, defence, construction and infrastructure. Every cut is checked against the drawing, because a millimetre out on the bed is a part that doesn’t fit.
How we work
From File to
Finished Cut
Send a drawing, part model or artwork – we handle the toolpaths, programming and cutting, and every part is checked against the drawing.
Frequently asked questions
What materials can you cut on your CNC router?
A wide range – wood, HDU tooling board, acrylic, ACM (aluminium composite), aluminium, foam and printed graphics. The combination of a router spindle and knife cutting on one machine means we handle both rigid sheet and soft materials, so most jobs run without moving between machines.
What size sheets can you cut?
Our bed takes sheets up to 1219mm × 1524mm as standard, with extendable length for longer parts. If you’re not sure whether your part fits, send us the dimensions and we’ll confirm.
Do I need to supply cutting files or toolpaths?
No. Send us a drawing, a part model or your artwork and we’ll work out the toolpaths, cut sequence and tolerances. We program offline from your CAD, so you don’t need any CNC-specific files to get a finished part.
Can you cut printed graphics accurately to the print?
Yes. Our machine uses a vision registration system that reads your printed artwork and cuts exactly to it, rather than to a fixed position – so print-to-cut jobs come out aligned to the graphic even if the print has shifted slightly.
Can CNC routing be combined with your other services?
Yes. Cut parts flow straight into finishing, coating and assembly in-house, so you can order a finished, assembled product rather than just cut components — or take the routed parts on their own if you’re building yourself.
