CNC Router Machine Engraving Wood Principle

CNC router machine engraving wood, the CNC (Computer Numerical Control), is a way to automatically control the loading of CNC engraving machine carving motion processing system, which is usually calculated by the engraving process systems (including computer software and sculpture), CNC machine, spindle control system and feed control system. Engraving system consists of a computer program to calculate the composition and engraving software, the software on your computer will need carving carved by the digitizer, the program generates every step of the carving. Sculpture program is composed of a series of consecutive numerical order, and to control the spindle speed, feed rate, tool, sports suspension and so on. Because these instructions are for the ultimate tool movement services, so carving is also known as tool path file. According to design drawings and engraving software tool automatically calculates the position of the tool movement, that knife sites, and write them carving process. Wood CNC machine process from the point after reading the cutter axis automatically calculates the movement of each component, continuously send pulses to the motor to control the movement of each axis, the final completion of the actual engraving process.

Wood carving machine cnc advantages

Materials – this one can go both ways because there are materials that CNC router cannot work with (or not very efficiently) that lasers can (like paper), but the ability to work with PVC, carbon fiber and softer metals like aluminum should be counted as an advantage for the routers. Both machines have materials that they work better with, so find out which material you will be working for the majority of your time and then take the machine that gives you the best result for it.

Thickness – Laser cutters (at least the ones in a reasonable price range) can only cut relatively thin materials while forwood carving machine cnc thickness is not a problem as long as you get correct router bits or go in multiple passes. You can do multiple passes with lasers as well but you will burn the edges and the quality of the cut will not be that great.

Depth of cut (3D carvings) – along with thickness this is probably the biggest advantage router have over lasers. Lasers are essentially 2D machine and while they are capable for some degree of depth engraving (through power level manipulation), it comes nowhere near to the quality of the results that can be achieved with CNC routers.

Larger working area –if you, for example, wanted to carve your front door, a router with that bed size is not that expensive compared to a laser of a similar size. No matter how big of a laser cutter you get, you will always run into a job that will need a bigger working area (although there are ways around that – it’s a hustle).

Price – CNC routers are cheaper when comparing similarly sized laser cutters. The price of a laser cutter goes up with wattage and bed size.
