Also, for small and simple wood carving projects, like bookmarks, we have prepared portable laser engravers for our partners. The machine has another name of desktop laser engraver or mini laser engraver with a smaller platform of 110*110mm. But its working speed can be 2-3 times of the traditional model.

EVA Foam Shape Moulding Machine​

EVA foam shape moulding machines are specialized industrial tools designed to produce custom-shaped EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) foam products. EVA foam is a versatile material known for its durability, flexibility, and lightweight properties, making it ideal for a wide range of industries, including footwear, packaging, sports equipment, automotive, and more. These machines use heat, pressure, and moulds to shape EVA foam into precise forms, ensuring consistency and efficiency in mass production.

Interior Design

Custom wood panels, moldings, and decorative elements are widely used in interior design projects. CNC machines allow designers to bring unique concepts to life.

Furniture & Cabinets

The closet, wardrobe, cabinets, and other wooden furniture manufacturing are the most popular applications for computerized wood carving machine. Our Nesting CNC RouterATC CNC RouterMulti-Spindles CNC Cutting Router are perfect CNC Routers for woodworking projects.

Why use a wood CNC router? Traditional woodworking workers can‘t meet the growing needs of the woodworking industry in terms of processing speed or accuracy. Wood CNC machines have the advantages of efficient use, mass production, fast speed, and high efficiency, which greatly help the manufacturers of furniture and cabinets. Moreover, The manufacturers of wooden furniture and cabinets can customize wood CNC machines according to their own economic conditions, production processes, and other actual needs. The flexibility of woodworking engraving machines brings great benefits to wood furniture manufacturers.

Toy Manufacturing

CNC machines are used to produce safe and durable wooden toys, puzzles, and games.

Wood Crafts and Art

The wood carving CNC router can build up limitless wooden arts and wooden crafts. Such as wooden jewelry box, mirror and picture frames, Christmas decorations, and plaques.

Architectural Millwork

Architectural Millwork requests high precision and advanced performance. We will offer you industrial wood CNC machines that are specially designed for machining the material for Architectural, Such as,  aluminum composite, metal composite, wooden materials for Architectural projects. Large volumes of the material working of Architectural Millwork request fast working speed and efficiency by wood CNC router Machine. Especially we installed 4th Axis and Duo Aggregate for our CNC woodworking machine. This allows the manufacturer to incorporate the highest level of detail in arches, moldings, carvings, corbels, and columns.  All these specifications make sure the consistent and reliable output of the wood CNC router machine for the architectural millwork manufacturers.

Prototyping and Product Development

CNC machines are essential for creating prototypes and scale models in industries such as architecture, engineering, and product design.

Musical Instruments

Today, more and more musical instrument manufacturers combine old-world craftsmanship with modern CNC speed and accuracy to realize their vision well. There is no doubt that wood CNC carving routers are perfect machines for manufacturing musical instruments, and the production of violins and guitar bodies are the most popular industries in this field. A wood CNC machine has these benefits in the fabrication of musical instruments: shortening the time to develop new instruments and create prototypes; helping the manufacturer more profitable; simplifying the entire process; no need to make templates, etc.

The main applications for musical instruments by wood CNC router are wood guitars, electric guitars, violin and other wood musical instruments, folk guitar handles, classical guitar handles, electric guitar barrels, electric guitar handles and guitars, fingerboards, violin panels, and backboards, zither, violin, horse head, Production of guitar, cymbal, harp, lute, erhu, flute, clarinet and oboe, and various musical instrument accessories. High processing accuracy, one-shot molding, high efficiency, and high safety.

Phone Case Wood Carving projects

Furniture making or home décor is the most common industry in laser machine application. But why not use wood carving projects on our portable devices such as phone cases. In comparison with plastic materials, the wooden shell is more environmental-friendly. The wood is elastic in texture, which will protect your screen and phone when falling to the ground. What’s more, the wood can absorb perspiration to ensure friction. But unfortunately, this phone case is more expensive than the plastic-type. So if you are interested, DIY would be the most economic choice.

For small stuff, our entry-level 1390 CO2 laser cutting machine is a good wood carving idea for beginners.
