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 today’s highly competitive environments such as international trade shows and expos, a corporate booth is no longer just a place of presence, it’s a three-dimensional extension of the brand.
En un entorno altamente competitivo como las ferias y exposiciones internacionales, el stand corporativo ya no es solo un punto de presencia, sino una extensión tridimensional de la marca.
Discover how fiberglass and 3D sculpting technologies are transforming the production of high-performance, immersive scenic props across industries. Next-Generation Materials for Immersive Experiences In modern scenic design, customization , durability , and precision are critical. The fusion of digital 3D sculpting and advanced fiberglass fabrication has redefined how themed environments are conceived and built. This approach enables a seamless balance between artistic expression, structural reliability, and production scalability — ideal for theme parks, exhibitions, experiential marketing, and high-traffic installations. Fiberglass as a Structural and Aesthetic Solution Reinforced with specialized resins and protected with polyurea or similar coatings, fiberglass delivers: High strength-to-weight ratio Resistance to environmental stressors (UV, humidity, impact) Precision in replicating complex forms and textures Compatibility with automotive paints, metallics, and scenic finishes It’s not just visually impactful — it’s built to last and engineered to meet strict safety and performance requirements. 3D Sculpture: From Digital Accuracy to Physical Excellence Through CAD modeling and digital sculpting software, custom props gain unmatched realism and creative control. The process typically includes: 3D modeling and photorealistic rendering CNC carving or large-scale 3D printing Hand-finishing, sealing, and protective coating Artistic painting and visual enhancement On-site technical installation This streamlined pipeline ensures production efficiency and fidelity from concept to final deployment. Key Applications Large-scale figures and iconic sculptures Themed brand environments and experiential installations High-impact trade show props and exhibits Themed furniture and architectural accents Interactive and sensory props for expos and activations Scenic Studios: Experts in Large-Scale Custom Scenic Fabrication At Scenic Studios, we merge engineering, design, and craft to deliver sculptural props that perform as well as they impress. Whether you need a monumental figure or a detailed brand piece — if you can envision it, we can build it.
