The applications of CNC routers include the following:
Woodworking and Cabinetry: This device is suitable for making furniture, cabinets, and intricate wood designs for household and office use, decorative purposes, and even custom furniture.
Sign Making: CNC routers offer applications in the signage industry, creating detailed signs and lettering from materials like wood, acrylic, and aluminum. They suit precision cutting and engraving logos, texts, and intricate patterns on these materials.
Plastic Fabrication: As we have emphasized, CNC routers are specifically for working on soft materials, including plastics and polymers. This device allows the manufacture of some simple plastic structures and components.
Model Making and Prototyping: Machinists use CNC routers to create detailed models and prototypes from wood and plastic. Their high machining speed makes them an ideal choice for rapid prototyping.
Architecture: Architects use CNC routers to create custom architectural elements such as moldings, panels, and decorative features. The ability to produce custom detailed designs makes CNC routers ideal for adding unique and customized elements to buildings and structures.
