What is 3D CNC Routing?

3D CNC routing is a special way to carve materials into three-dimensional shapes using computer-controlled machines. Unlike flat cutting, 3D routing can create:

Detailed sculptures
Curved surfaces
Deep relief designs
Product prototypes
Custom signs with depth

Our 5-axis machining technology lets us cut materials from many angles to create even the most complex designs!
