Modern technology has opened doors for individuals to start a business. Precision automation gives individuals the ability to create, well, anything. Here are a few avenues to consider if you want to open a new business with your CNC router:
Sign Production
Personalized messaging has become a valuable business. A CNC router allows for unique signage to be made for local businesses. A CNC machine ensures perfection every time. Our Atlas Series CNC router is a great base model for someone looking to start a sign company.
Cabinet Making
We have touched base on this in a few of our other articles. CNC machines have been a staple of woodworking and cabinet making for many years now. With the advancement of software, electronics, and machinery, many cabinet shops have been transformed into automated “factories”. CNC routers have the ability to work full time, without any extra pay or “over time”, and never call in sick for a day off. These once un-affordable options have become accessible to even small businesses. Our Venture Nesting Series is an excellent option for cabinet makers.
Furniture
The furniture market is massive. With a CNC router equipped with the correct accessories like a fourth axis rotary table for optimal rotation, you can move beyond mass produced designs. Furniture makers will be glad to know that the machine beds are a combination vacuum table (for vacuum hold down of flat sheets and boards) and aluminum T-slot table (for clamping and fixturing of parts not suitable for vacuum hold down). The Titan and HDS Series machines can be used with a 4th axis rotary table for ornate chair and table legs. Aggregate tools are available for specialized cuts like 90-degree horizontal boring. Our technicians are also very helpful in advising on the appropriate tooling and cut strategies for many different materials involved with furniture fabrication.
Engraving Services
Personalized gifts have become a great way to earn extra income. Sites like Etsy and Michaels Marketplace allow for easy advertising. We have sold hundreds of machines to woodworkers who are now making money on personalized items such as name plates, coasters, cutting boards, teethers, phone cases, knives, etc.
Model Making
Architectural engineering is a money making avenue. CNC routers can give you the ability to create life size replicas for museums, theatres, display cases, marketing booths, etc. Our customers love that their CNC router allows them to bring any design to life.
Instruments like Guitar Making
Carving out guitar bodies with CNC machines is now in style. Create parts for guitars like jigs, templates and fixtures easily and efficiently.
Prototyping Services
Test design ideas with physical production by making things, playing around with how shapes look, etc. CNC routers can then also be used as a communication tool. It is very valuable to be able to show clients exactly what they are going to get. You can show them that it isn’t just a 3D model… this is something you can physically touch and hold, and they can expedite the discourse. Then, contractors can come to your fabrication lab where we can then all through ideas out, yet still be on the same page about the project. It’s a very effective way to bridge the divide between designer and contractor.
