How we Make Custom Basic Shapes and Arrows
Shapes and arrows are only one more thing that’s we’ve added today to our Shape’s Library. CNCROi.com with lots of custom geometry from basic shapes to arrows, and we painted them with a few layers of paint just to show you how great they can look!
The board we are using to display a material option for our custom basic shapes and arrows is quarter-inch or 6 mm plywood that’s an off-cut of another project we did a while back. We do lots of projects and there is generally a little material left over that’s still totally fine for custom projects.
Keep in mind that what you see below being custom laser cut out of plywood could have just as easily been any other thickness or grade of plywood, acrylic, metal or stainless steel, laminate, rubber or cork. Literally, these custom geometric shapes and arrows could have been cut out of any material at any size.
Want an arrow cut out of Corian that’s 7 ft tall? We can cut that just as easily (though more expensively) than 1 ft arrow cut out of paper. We offer you realtime production, so each one of these shapes could have been just as easily personalized with a name, address or any message you want and they don’t need to all be the same neither!
These shapes are all cut out using our industrial wide-format CNC laser, which means we can cut one circle or a thousand and they would all be exactly the same (if that’s what you wanted). Not only that, they can be cut at different scales, so if you wanted the first to be 1 inch and the 100th to be 10 inches round and each one in between a variance between these two sizes, that’s no problem!
You can see fire during production, that’s what our laser does, it’s a highly controlled beam of energy. This is what produces the soot and smoke you see in these photos. If you didn’t want this, CNCROi.com would mask the top and bottom surface but in this case, as paint was to be applied, it makes no difference as the smoke is painted over.
Our Austrian laser is also every bit industrial, meaning it’s designed and ready, at any time, for 24/7 production schedules and yes, we’ve done that on several occasions where the timeline was too short for the volume required during regular business hours.
The order and complexity of the geometry, in this case, can be however you want, so if you wanted, for instance, a thousand circles for an initial production run followed by a thousand triangles then a thousand stars, we could make them in separate batches are all mixed together into any ratio you want. CNCROi.com offer ultimate flexibility!
Sometimes the light and refraction produces pretty neat effects when mixed with the compressed air and compression, for instance, it’s as if the smoke is completely straight across the star below. It’s just an optimal illusion but if it wasn’t for our vacuum table, there would be a lot more smoke being produced as we suck it out top and bottom.
Now we are cutting some custom arrows, the options for custom arrow production are endless. Want an arrow with one head or literally a thousand pointy heads, it’s totally up to you. Want it with a rounded edge, want a long point or a short one? Yep, up to you!
The same is true with octagons, pentagons and googlegons. You tell us what you want or better yet, send us your own custom drawing and we’ll make something incredible out of it totally just for you and ship it right to your door!
CNCROi.com is the home of custom because that’s what we specialize in, we make what you want in however volume you need or desire. If you wanted these cut out of polycarbonate, wood veneer (tell us the species) or aluminium that’s anodized blue, we do that!
You can see how this plywood has a bit of a rip in the surface in the bottom picture, top left picture, but that makes no difference to our Austrian dual-sourced laser as we cut the square out totally fine. Each material has it’s plus and minus when it comes to production, some materials we have to be more careful than others. As these are scraps, it doesn’t matter and once painted, you’ll see how visible this is.
All the raw plywood basic shapes and arrows are cut, there are a lot more coming out on our online Shapes Library but this is a good start. Each cut out perfectly, the inner corners as like the outer ones, cut completely square.
Throwing on some paint and you can see how wonderful these custom shapes look! Just regular spray paint is all that’s needed to help beautify even the roughest of materials.
