CNC machines are a perfect example of how ideas and technology align to create new and imaginative designs. CNC machines are high performance and flexible for wood with carpentry and large industrial solutions. This article will provide you with a concise guide to choosing CNC machines for your business.
What is a CNC Wood Carving Machine?
CNC Wood Carving Machine is a kind of automatic machine tool with a Computer numerical control system supporting automatic carving, engraving, cutting, milling, drilling and grooving on different materials, such as wood, foam, stone, plastics, acrylic, glass, ACM, copper, brass, aluminum, PVC, MDF, etc.
Application of CNC Machines for Wood

Working of CNC Machine
A CNC machine is connected and controlled by a computer. All necessary data are in the form of G-codes, assembling into a CNC program. The G-codes consist of a “G” followed by a number and type of milling work instruction. Since these codes are standardised, they may be based on a CNC router software used in almost all CNC router machines. When all data has been inserted, and the CNC program is ready, the CNC machine can start its work.
Manufacturers have added their own codes to the ISO G-codes. Therefore, various post-processors exist to ultimately generate "matching" programs from CAM programs for all different machines.
Endless possibilities with laser technology
A laser-cut edge will produce a burnt aspect. Our software, thanks to its setting library, gives the user the possibility to increase or decrease the darkness level of the edge.
In terms of engraving, there are wide possibilities: the options range from light colour (low power, high speed), different brown shades to very dark (high power, 2mm defocus), depending on the wood variety and laser settings.
Photo engraving, letter cutout, name and logo personalisation, prototype cut, one laser can do them all.
Clean wood engraving and cutting
Wood processing with a laser generates no chip, just smoke, gas and dust that can safely be handled by a fume exhaust.
Some kinds of wood such as plywood, composite or OSB generate an important amount of fumes, gas and particles linked to the glues used.
We strongly recommend the use of a filter accessory in addition to the fume exhaust, as it will drastically increase the HEPA exhaust filters lifetime and reduce the cost of use.
