What are CNC cuts and what types of cuts can be made?
Scenic Studios Design & Production • 28 de noviembre de 2023
CNC cuts are an automated manufacturing process in which a machine tool, such as a CNC router, CNC laser, or CNC plasma cutting machine, follows a program of instructions to cut or shape materials. These cuts are precise and repetitive, making them ideal for mass production and the manufacturing of precise parts. At Scenic, we showcase some of the types of CNC cuts and their applications:
- CNC Milling: A rotary cutter is used to remove material from a workpiece. It can be used to produce three-dimensional shapes and precise details. CNC milling is common in the manufacturing of metal and plastic parts.
- CNC Laser Cutting: It uses a laser beam to cut through materials such as metal, wood, plastic, acrylic, and fabric. This method is fast and precise, commonly used in the manufacturing of electronic components, signs, models, and metal parts.
- CNC Plasma Cutting: It employs a hot plasma jet to cut through electrically conductive materials like steel, aluminum, and copper. Suitable for cutting thick materials, it is used in the manufacturing of metal structures, automotive components, and general metal fabrication.
- Wire EDM (CNC Wire Cutting): A conducting wire is used to erode the material and create precise cuts. It is especially useful for cutting intricate shapes in hard materials like hardened metals.
- CNC Router Cutting: Like CNC milling, it uses a rotating cutting tool to shape materials such as wood, plastic, and composite materials. Common in the manufacturing of furniture, signs, and architectural models.
These are just some examples, and the versatility of CNC machines allows for a wide variety of applications in different industries. The use of CNC cuts provides advantages such as precision, repeatability, and the ability to efficiently produce complex parts.

In contemporary scenography, rendering has evolved beyond a simple visual representation.
En la escenografía contemporánea, el render dejó de ser una simple representación visual.
For many years, scenic design was perceived as a primarily technical and operational field. Today, that view is rapidly changing. In the global events and brand experience industry, women are redefining how spaces are conceived, managed, and executed, contributing strategic vision, creative leadership, and operational
Durante muchos años, la escenografía fue percibida como un campo principalmente técnico y operativo. Hoy, esa visión está cambiando rápidamente. En la industria global de eventos y experiencias de marca, las mujeres están redefiniendo la manera en que los espacios se conciben, se gestionan y se ejecutan
When a set design works, the audience rarely wonders how it was built. They only perceive the result: a coherent, impactful, and well-executed space. However, behind every successful experience lies a complete system of tools, processes, and people that make it all possible for everything to happen without visible erro
Cuando una escenografía funciona, el público rara vez se pregunta cómo fue construida. Solo percibe el resultado: un espacio coherente, impactante y bien ejecutado. Sin embargo, detrás de cada experiencia exitosa existe un sistema completo de herramientas, procesos y personas que hacen posible que todo ocurra sin error
In an industry increasingly dominated by technology, automation, and digital processes, one might think that traditional crafts have lost relevance. However, in contemporary set design, the opposite is true: carpentry remains one of the fundamental pillars for transforming creative concepts into real, safe, and functio
En una industria cada vez más dominada por tecnología, automatización y procesos digitales, podría pensarse que los oficios tradicionales han perdido relevancia. Sin embargo, en la escenografía contemporánea ocurre lo contrario: la carpintería sigue siendo uno de los pilares fundamentales para convertir conceptos creat

Todo comienza con un brief. Pero no con la lectura literal del documento, sino con su correcta interpretación. Entender el mensaje central, la emoción que se quiere provocar y el contexto en el que la marca se presentará permite detectar oportunidades para que el espacio hable por sí mismo. Un buen brief no se ejecuta:
