yet another interesting attempt to take advantage of our CNC services, this time by well known Toronto designers and furniture makers Jason and Lars Dresslers and their plywood chair collection
The onedge series explores possibilities of new materials like bamboo and plywood, pushing structure and form to a whole new level to create comfort using CNC cutting technologies and new furniture design techniques. Onedge rocker is a great example of what these two can achieve together.
Like I mentioned in a previous post, CNC cutting is definitely not limited to kitchen cabinets and furniture cutting. There are large communities of hobbyists designing and building great sounding, ultra high-efficiency loudspeakers. In fact, we have recently started to work with them!
Black Dahlia Acoustics, Ltd. is one of the many companies offering to this great technology to hobbyists in a BassZilla Plans Kit. You can purchase the full design kit for about $29 and learn in detail how to build these speakers from scratch.
The kit is very well-done and easy-to-follow, except the fact that you still have to somehow cut all parts precisely enough to make them sound great. That’s exactly where CNC cutting can help you in a big way. Since all parts were designed and nested for CNC cutting, it is very easy for us to export all parts to our CNC machine and them all cut with extreme precision and speed for you to save time and money on cutting them yourself.
CNC cutting is definitely not limited to kitchen cabinets and furniture cutting. Just recently we were approached by company Hello Pink that provide provides something also known as Lawn Greetings. Since they had the artwork already created in Adobe Illustrator, our job was fairly easy and therefore, more affordable for them.
With CNC, we can cut any possible shape you can imagine or any shape you’ve already created using a 2D or 3D model. This is handy especially for designers and design companies that are used to working with vector and 3D artwork on an everyday basis. We can also transform any image (you have the right to use) to vectors and cut it for you, for additional charges.
Here is list of file extensions we can cut strength from, to avoid design and file converting charges:
In order to cut anything on CNC, design has to be in pace with all necessary details. There are about 50 different cabinet and design software out there to help you figure out your renovation or kitchen remodeling design. Many of our customers are using them already. Most of these design packages are able to export your designs in to an Excel spreadsheet. Spreadsheets are great way to share information such as the part sizes and quantities you want us to cut. Excel spreadsheets are actually the only cut list format we can accept for cutting if you want to skip the design part and save extra money.
If you have hand sketches or architectural drawings, we still have to put them through our detailing department and put them into 3D in order to cut them… unless you will provide us with a parts breakdown in excel spreadsheets like above.
Automated wood and PVC edge banding is a very common and useful method of sealing and covering the exposed cut-edge of sheet-stock cut material like melamine or plywood. This method is mainly used for kitchen & bathroom cabinets, office furniture, or closets. Our edge banding facility is fully automated and we can edge-bend PVC and solid wood with outstanding speed, efficiency, quality and price. It is important for you to understand how our estimating works so you can best calculate the price of your project.
Here you’ll find simple & quick kitchen design. CNC cutting will detail all necessary elements to help clients better visualize the project and make better design decisions. Modeling is also important for further dimensioning and layout, not to mention for clients to verify the designs before adding final dimensions to the CNC cutting program. These are the important steps prior to having your kitchen designs manufactured.
Our CNC cutting website has gone through a complete redesign and restructuring to provide our Toronto and GTA customers with even better services. We’ve also rethought the way we are going to service our existing customers, as well as new customers. So there has been quite a bit going on here lately!
Our website will keep you up-to-date with our new services, prices, and upcoming products. It will also give new customers a better impression and understanding of what CNC cutting is all about and how can we save you time and money. Plus, our future ordering system will speed up and ease the whole process for product and service ordering.
