How thick can CNC routed letters be?

Our router cuts dimensional letters from material up to 50mm thick, which is well beyond what a laser can handle. This is the route to take for monument signs, building entry signs, and any project where the depth of the letter is part of the visual impact.

Why pick CNC routing over laser for big sign letters?

For letters over about 300mm tall or in materials thicker than 25mm, CNC routing gives a straighter edge and avoids the slight taper you can get from a deep laser cut. It also handles materials like aluminium composite panel and HDPE that the laser cannot cut at all.

Do you supply a fitting template with routed letters?

Yes, we can print a 1:1 mounting template on cardboard or thin plastic showing the exact letter positions and any stud holes. The installer tapes it to the wall, drills through the marks, peels the template off, and the letters drop straight into the holes. It is the easiest way to get even spacing on long shopfronts.

Large-format dimensional letters CNC routed from aluminium composite panel, foamed PVC, HDPE, and thick acrylic for building facades, monument signs, and exterior wayfinding. Laser and CNC cutting is restricted by thickness and material rather than size, so we can produce letters in a wide range of sizes with straight machined edges.

Signage

Full-size sign panels and sign trays CNC routed from aluminium composite panel, foamed PVC, and HDPE up to 2440mm x 1220mm. We v-groove ACP for folded sign trays and fascia boxes, machine LED cut-outs and rebates for illuminated panels, and rout vehicle signage substrates to size. This is the workhorse process for shopfront fascias, directory boards, and exterior signage that needs to come off a single full sheet.

CNC Machined HDPE Parts

Machined HDPE components routed to your drawings or sample part: wear strips, machine guards, food-contact surfaces, livestock panels, tank lids, and marine fender pads. We work from CAD files or a worn original, holding tolerances to +/-0.2mm and including drilling, pocketing, and chamfering in the same operation. This is the route to take when you need finished parts, not just rectangular sheet.

CNC Machined Polycarbonate Parts

Machined polycarbonate components routed to your drawings or sample, including machine windows, safety guards, glazing panels with mounting cut-outs, and complex shaped profiles. We use single-flute upcut plastic tooling and tuned feed rates to produce cold-cut crack-free edges that will not stress-craze in service. Built for engineers, fabricators, and equipment manufacturers needing finished parts rather than blank sheet.
