CNC cutting tables have enabled many short-run manufacturing companies to flourish and add new products to the offerings of Sign & Display printers. When the CNC machine itself is made in Australia, it completes the loop - Australian made routers helping Australian manufacturers to compete. Headquartered near Newcastle, NSW, Multicam CNC Routers provide unrivaled opportunity and flexibility for sign shops. The ability to cut and process all sign making materials, coupled with the flexibility of profile cutting, 2D and 3D engraving means that sign projects are only limited by imagination.

Signmaking businesses could be cutting aluminium, plastic, timber products, solid surface materials, composite panels, vinyls and much more. The jobs may vary from complex 3D engraving, to straight 2D cut out lettering or graphics. Multicam's CNC routing machines handle them all with minimal turn around time and minimal set-up effort.
