CNC routing & prototype machining
CNC routing in Sheffield for panels, fixtures and prototype parts
Large-format in-house routing for panels, plates, fixtures, templates and development components, with engineering input where design or workholding needs review.

Large-format routing for practical engineering parts
CNC routing is useful when flat or sheet-based components need more rigidity, thickness or machining flexibility than laser cutting can provide.
- Base plates, mounting panels and fixture components
- Templates, guards and prototype machine parts
- Parts that integrate with 3D printing, electronics or test rigs
What we can help with
Panels & sheet parts
Large-format routed panels, covers, plates and structural components for prototype equipment and enclosures.
Templates & development parts
Practical one-off components for checking layouts, proving assemblies and supporting early engineering builds.
Not sure if the part is ready to machine?
Send a CAD file, drawing, sketch or dimensions. We can review the geometry, material and workholding before confirming whether CNC routing is the right process.
From file to finished part
Send the part
Upload CAD, a drawing or a short description of the component and what it needs to do.
Review & quote
We check geometry, material, workholding, quantity and any important design constraints.
Route & supply
Parts are machined in-house in Sheffield and supplied as agreed with the quote.
Common questions
What files can I send?
CAD files, drawings, sketches and reference dimensions are all useful. If the design is still being developed, send what you have and we can review the practical next step.
What materials can you route?
Typical work includes plastics, wood and other suitable sheet materials. Selected aluminium work may also be possible depending on the geometry, tooling and workholding.
What is the maximum CNC working area?
The router has an approximate working area of 1200 × 1200 mm. The usable area for a specific job can depend on tooling, workholding and part geometry.
Can you help with the design or workholding?
Yes. We can review the part, mounting approach and manufacturing constraints before machining where engineering input is useful.
Can CNC parts be combined with your other capabilities?
Yes. Routed parts can be combined with 3D printing, laser cutting, electronics and prototype assembly as part of a wider engineering build.
