Creating Custom Designed LED Engraved Advertising Signboards

CNC Routers are versatile machines. One of the major strengths of CNC Routers is their capability to work with a variety of sign making materials. These include:

• Sign-foam

• Acrylic

• Aluminum

• Hardwood

• Plywood

• Wood Composites

• Polycarbonate Material

• Lexan

CNC routers are used to make 3D acrylic letters and parts for channel letter signs. In addition with a V-groove router bit, flowing cursive text of varying depth and width can be cut into wood or metal or acrylics and other translucent plastics.

Benefits CNC Routers

CNC Routers are exclusively used for their role in creating high end custom signs. 

• Precision fabrication allows the creation of quality signs

• Saved sign designs can be used repeatedly

• Can be used to create signs using a variety of materials

• Creative signage capability

• Reduces waste

• Allows faster fabrication and delivery 

Samples of business signs - a visual guide to the types of signs — many of them with the assistance of OMNI CNC Routers

Custom edge-lit signs draw attention. Storefronts are given a high tech look. Glamorize weddings and other special events with amazing signage.  

Professional sign fabricators depend on CNC Router. Without this versatile machine modern signage and advertising industry would have found themselves hampered by traditional techniques.

The CNC Router is a computer-controlled machine, and is mounted on a large router table. CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control. It can move in three dimensions and automatically cuts out the parts needed for a sign by following commands from a computer program. The CNC router follows a tool path that is accurate and allows sign manufacturers the capability to create extremely accurate designs and letters in a variety of materials.

Special software creates a new design that is sent to the computer workstation of the CNC router. The machine creates the different elements used in the sign's design. For example, the design may require 3D letters to be cut from a sheet of clear acrylic.

Omni CNC Router in action

In this video recorded at Omni CNC, you can see the versatility of OMNI CNC machine, cutting acrylic letters from half-inch material.

Creating Channel Letter signs

Individual 3D letters and shapes are formed from sheet metal. The CNC router cuts translucent acrylic front faces. With aluminum back covers, and internal LED lighting the photo shows a channel letter sign that was created for Amante Coffee. The LED illuminated channel letter sign gives excellent visibility at night. 

CNC Router Machines for Statues

The OMNI CNC router is a fine example of turning materials on a router. The process is very simple. A rotary device works as 4th axis on a conventional 3-axis router. The CNC router can carve exquisite newel posts, chair jambs, crown molding, statue profiling, modillion engraving, and wall moldings. The applications can only stretch the imagination

The rotary device works as a 4th axis indexer that allows machining of parts in the round profile. Free form ornamental turning is revolutionizing statue profiling. The Omni CNC router is making master craftsmen out of ordinary souls.

This also calls for introspection on a disappearing art of master carpenter. But technology is no more the servant of man rather it is breaking new grounds and with the advent of the Chinese company OMNI-CNC, new ground breaking technology is now available at an affordable price. The 4th axis with the rotary device makes the job of carving newel post and statues like 3d carving on Buddha.

The machine frame is of robust build quality. There are 12 spindles which can be employed on various materials like MDF (medium density fiberboard is an engineered wood product), solid woods, plastics and acrylics. The rotary device can process irregular objects as well as different columns. The digital servo brushless motor on all the axes is maintenance free and gives unmatched routing flexibility.  Sometimes this Omni CNC machine is dubbed as statues CNC router.

The design process for carving a statue profile will need the visualization of the concept. For this 3D modelling software or 3D CAD (Computer Aided Design) is required. Instead of drawing the object via lines (by a pencil) the 3d object is built up by inserting and changing fundamental 3D shapes. OMNI CNC router machines for profiling statues come with the right software tools to execute a tool path for the visualized 3D shape and allow the CNC router to trace the tool path. The technical word is called creating the Part file for the CNC router to cut the profile. The Omni CNC router for statue profiling is fast and to watch it in action is itself breathtaking.

OMNI Name Synonymous With CNC Routers

All CNC wood routers have 3-axis. The addition of a 4th axis to a standard 3 Axis CNC router is a way to access more sides without adding more steps to the machine. To simplify it is woodworking with continuous indexing like engraving cylinders of columns that are generally machined for architectural projects.

It is ornamental turning work. An excellent example is a 3d CNC router with the 4th axis clamped at the side of the table. The 4th axis is particularly useful for custom guitars and pool cues. One of the well-known brands for purchasing CNC router is Omi from China. They are one of the top brands in China and with their focus on quality and the variety of models available they have become ubiquitous with CNC router woodworking all over the world.

At the top end is Omni's ATC CNC router. This automatic tool change (ATC) router is perfect for multiple operations. Just set the command and the timing and the router goes to work. It is a specialist woodworking CNC router capable of fast cutting speeds. The addition of a 4th axis as described above can do the job when required and for production oriented works Omni have produced the synchronous multi-head CNC router.

The other models in Omni's lineup is the specialty CNC stone router as well as the EPS shaping CNC router that is designed to work on unconventional materials like carbon hybrid non-metallic materials. Apart from cutting this machine can do shaping and different kinds of mold profiles.

Omni CNC machines are in almost all industrial sectors ranging from automotive, aerospace, recreational vehicles, marine, furniture, 3d sculpture, pattern making, wood workings, signage industry and plastics. The reason for their success is their versatility and attention to detail in their manufacturing process. If you are in the market to purchase CNC router Omni is your choice.
