Wood Cutting: CNC Router VS. Laser

Wood Cutting: CNC Router VS. Laser – Key Differences Explained

Seattle Art & Industrial shapes and cuts wood using two different methods, utilizing its 9′ x 5′  four-axis CNC (Computer Numerical Control) Router or its 10′ x 7′ industrial Laser.   Both methods offer precise, CAD (Computer Aided Design) controlled shaping solutions so that you can create and/or reproduce your work, whether it be decorative (e.g. sculpture, design embellishment, etc.) or functional (e.g. furniture, wall panels, signage, etc.).

Below is a quick list of key points explaining the capabilities of each process:

CNC Router Cutting

production

 

The CNC router:

    • employs routing “bits” – each one selected as required for the piece from an array of bit shapes and thickness.
    • is capable of working with both, 2D and 3D Geometry
    • cuts smooth edges without distorting the color of the work
    • leaves a small radius in any “inside” geometry that is intended for sharp corners
    • can cut up to 6″ deep in one pass
    • can easily cut either soft and hard wood in any thickness

Industrial Laser Cutting

 

The Industrial Laser:

    • works with 2D geometry
    • is perfect for MDF, Plywood, Richlite, and many other types of wood mostly up to 1″ thick
    • requires less programming and is more efficient, and, thus, may be less expensive overall (compared to CNC Router)
    • cuts precise crisp and precise edges
    • may darken edges, via laser “burning” which may allow patterns to stand out
    • is perfect for sharp edge cutting and internal 90 degree corners

 

 

Ready Assemble Furniture

Jan 27, 2017

Looking for a custom set of furniture that you can assemble yourself?   We have you covered.    At Seattle Art and Industrial we can provide custom design and then manufacture many different types of “ready to assemble” furniture, using any type of wood you desire – from low cost MDF and plywood to premium hard woods like oak, birch, cherry, mahogany, walnut or teak, or exotic woods like bubinga, zebra wood or cocobolo.   After we label and identify every piece, we provide instructions for easy assembly.

Production Services- Seattle

Jan 2, 2017

Looking for a production run of material, but don’t want to deal with a large manufacturing company? We can help you produce small to large production runs of various CNC and fabrication work – in any shape in wood, foam, MDF, acrylic and metal.

Our team is focused on quality and rapid turn-around of projects.

With our CNC Router, we can cut on 4-axes,  allowing us to do production runs of round and three-dimensional shapes.

With our CNC Laser machine, we can quickly cut multiple images and shapes in many different types of materials, scaled in small or large format .

 

Seattle 4-axis CNC Router

Nov 22, 2016

At Art and Industrial we have the ability to cut a 4-axis column with our CNC router. This column in particular is about four feet long and made of premium oak. We can program a variety of different patterns on the columns. For example, earlier this summer we cut a totem pole and mannequins for two clients. The size of the project is not a problem since we can adjust our spindle for short or longer projects. Also, we can incorporate fine and intricate detail with our updated software. In summary, we can help you create a nice detailed column for your next project on our 4-axis router.

Seattle Handcrafted Furniture

Oct 20, 2016

Here at Art and Industrial we also create one of a kind handcrafted furniture. We just recently put finishing touches on this ornate chair. Its made from White oak and assembled by hand. The pieces were programmed and cut on a CNC router in-house. We work with our clients to create unique designs, and have the capability to create multiple pieces for one order.
