CNC routing Services

Our CNC routing services are built for experienced designers, fabricators, and builders who need reliable access to high-quality equipment—without the overhead. We offer 3-axis and 5-axis machining as a service, operated by our in-house team, with flexible pricing and fast turnaround. Whether you’re prototyping or producing at scale, we provide the tools, precision, and support to help you get the job done right.

Materials we work with

We can purchase and receive materials on your behalf. Payment is required upfront.

Accepted Materials

  • Plywood

  • MDF

  • Hardwood/Softwood (pod size restrictions apply)

  • Acrylic

  • HDPE, Phenolic, other plastics

  • Foam

  • Epoxy (waiver required)

Not Accepted:

  • OSB

  • ACX

  • Concrete board

  • Stone

  • Gypsum

  • Reclaimed materials

Size limits:

  • Max size 10’ x 5’ x 10”* (*approval needed if over 6” Z).

  • Minimum size 6” x 12” (pod restrictions).

  • Minimum thickness is 1/2” (wood/foam) and 1/4” (plastics/sheet goods).

  • Must provide 5-10% material overage.

  • Let us know if you want to keep drops—they must be picked up with your parts.

 

File Guidelines

  • 3-axis: .dxf, .dwg

  • 5-axis: .stl

  • Make sure polylines are closed.

  • Avoid unnecessary layout lines.

  • Make sure your arcs and curves are not a series of segmented lines.

  • Only one 3D element per file.

  • 3-Axis separation between parts is a minimum of ⅝” or 15mm in most cases (based on ½” bit)

  • Provide a fabrication set, engineering drawing, or some type of plan view to confirm the dimensions in the digital file.

  • File naming: YYYYMMDD_CoName_JobName_Part#_3Axis

 

Turnaround

  • 3-Axis: Up to 10 sheets in ~2 business weeks (schedule-dependent).

  • 5-Axis: Varies by complexity and tooling.

  • Large projects (>10 sheets) quoted based on scope/schedule.

 

Important notes

  • You're liable for foreign objects in your material that damage tools.

  • We're not responsible for flaws or defects in your supplied materials.

  • Wood may react unpredictably — we recommend prototyping.

  • No warped or uneven materials will be accepted.
