What Is CNC Routing?
CNC ( Controle Numérico Computadorizado) routing is a form of material removal manufacturing that employs computer-controlled equipment to cut and form a range of materials. Originally used to process wood, plástico, or metal, CNC routing uses a cutting tool like a router. It moves along computerized instructions to cut intricate patterns in the material.
While CNC routing shares similarities with other CNC processes, such as CNC milling and turning, there are key differences:
Cutting Tool
CNC routing incorporates an axe-like tool known as the router bit, whereas CNC milling employs a tool with many cutting edges known as an end mill. CNC turning is a process where cylindrical parts are created using a single cutting tool.
Material Orientation
CNC routing deals with flat or sheet material such as plywood or acrylic whereas CNC milling and turning deals with a block or cylindrical material.
Cutting Direction
CNC routing mainly uses the X and Y axes whereas the CNC milling and turning can use several axes for 3D machining.
In all CNC processes though the benefits are accuracy and versatility, automation, and capacity to produce complex cavities and shapes with little or no handwork involved.
Advantages of CNC Routing with TOPS Precision
CNC routing has many advantages over traditional manual routing over other cutting technologies, ou seja. plasma and laser cutting. Here’s what makes TOPS Precision the right choice:
- Tight Tolerances: Due to our CNC routing machines, we can make clean cuts and give detailed shaping forms so that our designs and tolerance levels are highly refined. The process is tightly computer-controlled and provides high repeatability and reliability.
- Material Flexibility: Our CNC routing can cut through wood, plástico, compósitos, and such nonferrous metals, and hence our machinery is suitable for use in furniture manufacturing, sign making, and architectural ornamental work.
- Reproducibility: CNC routing also means that once a particular design is created on the machine, it can be repeated on other parts, or another batch, and come out identical to the original.
- Complex Shapes and Intricate Designs: Our CNC routers deserve special attention to provide excellent performance for creating complex shapes and curves, padrões, and intricate designs.
Common Materials for CNC Routing
At TOPS Precision, we work with a wide variety of materials, including but not limited to:
abdômen (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)
A tough, heat-setting polymer used for models, car components, housings, and products to be held or grasped.
ACM Panel (Aluminum Composite Material)
Non-toxic lightweight material, that can be easily painted, perfect for signs, fachada, and display purposes, resistant to weather.
Baltic Birch Plywood
Popular for its stiffness and strength, it is used in furniture, armários, e itens decorativos.
PEAD (High-Density Polyethylene)
An all-purpose material found in the kitchen cutting boards, marine industry, and storage items.
MDF (Medium-Density Fiberboard)
It is used for cabinetry, mobília, and signage owing to its easy-to-work-with-smooth surface and relatively cheaper cost.
Policarbonato
Their uses are impact resistance and the ability to produce a clear plastic, used in machine guards, lenses, and electronic applications.
Espuma
Common in packaging, to fill space voids, for architectural models, for instance, polystyrene or expanded polystyrene (EPS) and polyurethane foam.
UHMW (Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene)
UPTO 50% abrasion resistant, self-lubricating, and used in conveyor parts and chute liners.
Alumínio
Pigmented grade, resistência à corrosão, hollowings, machine parts, auto parts, recintos.
Latão
These are aesthetically appealing and responsive to the machining request often applied in decorative items, hardware, and musical instruments.
Compósitos
It comprises fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) and carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (PRFC). Então, they’re normally used in space and car manufacturing.
Aplicações de roteamento CNC
Our cnc routing services are multipurpose and applied in various industries. Here are just a few applications:
- Wooden Furniture: Design stiles for a table, backs of chairs, and other parts of furniture such as decorative pl tanks, aprons, and the like.
- Sinalização: Computer numerical control routing enables designers to create unique and complex designs of signs with ease and accuracy of materials such as wood, plástico, and metal.
- Molds for Thermoforming:We fabricate close-tolerance molds utilized for thermoforming operations that allow for an accurate pressing of plastic sheets.
- Cabinetry and Millwork:Fabricate uniform and highly detailed parts mainly used in cabinetworking and reception desk drawer fronts, and veneered panels.
- Prototyping and Product Development: To make prototypes for testing and developmental purposes from wood, plásticos, or any composite material and time-bound.
- Engraving and Personalization:This is used for making awards, nameplates, and personalized inscriptions on any surface, logo imprinting, general designs, or initials.
- Automotive and Aerospace Components:Fabricate automobile and aircraft components including aluminum, carbon fibers, e compósitos.
CNC Routing Process at TOPS Precision
Routing at TOPS Precision is achieved through the Computer Numerical Controlled route.
Here’s how we turn your designs into reality:
- Design Your Part: Design or model your part through CAD software and export the part in vector formats such as; DXF, AI, STL, or SVG formats.
- Upload Your CAD File: Simply upload your file on our website to get an instant free quote. Then we go to another process and that is the process of production.
- G-Code Conversion: We mature your vector file in CAM software where the software translates the file into G- code which is followed by the CNC routers.
- CNC Routing Execution: Our Computer Numerically Controlled machines perform the routing procedure, using knives to cut and contour the material to your design.
- Inspection and Quality Control: Once we have routed the part, our team individually checks each part before dispatching it to your doorstep.
