We have enjoyed CNC carving some three dimensional signs for a nearby theme park. The level of sharp detail we can create is excellent and rivals hand carving – especially as it’s more consistent.
These signs were made from high density plastic Foamex but this type of carving can be applied to timber as well as other plastics. It’s possible to re-create intricate timber carving relatively easily and it’s particularly useful when creating multiple or batch parts.
What’s more exciting is that we can also CNC carve an infinite variety of textures in these materials too.
We created a sampler to show some different textures using a number of different tools so the only limit to the type of surface is your imagination.
See what else we can do here…
