Custom Cutting and Engraving Services In Los Angeles (Laser, CNC, Digital and Plotter Cutting)

Our cutting and engraving machine operates with a powerful laser beam. Laser cuts the material with high precision, providing lean and perfectly cut edges. The machine delivers maximum performance for cutting and engraving almost all types of materials.

The edges of laser cut plastic materials obtain a glossy finish - laser cut acrylic or custom cut plexiglass, for instance. It has a high degree of flexibility and can handle projects at any level of complexity. We even provide laser etching on wood for custom signs. This process displays any image on wood with a burnt effect. With its working area capacity, it can perform an equally accurate job on both large and small scale signs.

Laser cutting: The laser beam traces patterns onto the surface, leaving a beautifully cut and clean product. The laser cutting machine leaves a glossy effect on the edges of materials like acrylic.

Laser engraving: Besides laser cutting services, we also provide 3D laser engraving and laser etching services. The laser beam burns away or discolors particular surfaces with the needed depth. It provides a burnt effect on wood or leaves a matte finish on acrylic.

CNC miller is a universal cutting and engraving tool for all types of rigid materials. The machine has X, Y, Z working dimensions. It’s ideal for geometrically simple as well as complex objects which can be milled with extreme details and accuracy.

Unlike the laser cutting machine, the CNC miller does not burn natural materials like wood and it provides a matte finish to the edges of plastic.

CNC cutting: No other cutting or engraving machine performs better on solid materials than CNC. With a CNC cutting machine, the needed product can be custom-sized, shaped and styled with unique and elaborate designs.

CNC engraving: CNC flat groove engraving and V groove engraving are widely utilized. Flat groove engraving can be used when borders or routing letters are needed.

V-groove carving is similar to flat but creates a channel that comes to a point at the bottom. CNC miller is perfect for creating 3D signs. It can engrave even the smallest details on almost any material.

For soft and plastic materials like foam board, PVC, styrene and more, we use a digital cutting machine. This is a computer-generated machine that provides die cutting and kiss cutting with sharp V-cut blades. It also provides creases with a 45-degree creasing wheel. Creasing is the process of leaving marked lines to allow for the folding of the material into a certain shape.

The digital cutting machine includes the following tools:

• Pen, which can draw accurate figures on soft materials like magnetic sheeting, PVC, styrene, etc. 
• Universal cutting tools with different blades such as a kiss cutting tool, pneumatic oscillating tool, V-cut knife and also a creasing wheel for soft materials.

For cutting a certain design, it automatically detects the crop marks as a guide and cuts the material in the exact shape of the design. The process goes like this: with the help of a cropmark sensor system, it locates the dotted cuts and performs precise and accurate contour cutting. This is a one-of-a-kind machine that has the capacity to cut custom artwork. It minimizes material waste due to its speed and precision.

This machine is perfect for cutting thin materials such as vinyl and static cling. The high-precision cutter provides accurate contour-cut materials with the smallest to most elaborate details, enabling us to make custom stickers in all shapes and sizes.

The knife of the plotter quickly cuts the outline of your design into a sheet of the material, providing exceptional quality every time. The plotter has a cutting speed of 140cm per second and 160cm of cutting width.

We use only the best quality materials for our signs. Here is a list of most of the materials we use for sign-making.

Foam Board and Gatorboard – Both are soft materials perfect for interior signs. We offer digital and CNC cutting options for these two materials. Depending on the result you want, we will select the best option between the two machines.

Ultraboard – A  foam core material sandwiched between two plastic sheets. We offer only CNC cutting services for ultraboard materials.

Acrylic – We provide CNC and laser cutting as well as engraving services for acrylic. Both machines provide excellent results. The main difference is in the finish of the cuts. CNC provides a matte finish, while laser cut acrylic has glossy edges.

Lexan – It’s very similar to acrylic but with a higher degree of impact resistance. We offer cutting and engraving services with both CNC and laser machines. Cut edges on lexan have a glossy finish with the laser and a matte finish with the CNC router.

Aluminum, Dibond & Brushed Aluminum – All three are highly durable materials in the sign-making industry, though dibond is the most lightweight and affordable. Our equipment allows us to offer metal cutting services. We provide metal cutting and engraving with a highly accurate CNC machine.

Coroplast – Lightweight corrugated plastic material often used for yard signs. It’s stronger than glass and lighter than plywood as well as completely bendable. For coroplast, we offer cutting services with digital, laser or CNC millers.

Wood and Plywood – Two of the most common materials for engraved signs. Wood engraving is perfectly customizable whether it be for decorative or business needs. We provide laser and CNC cutting and engraving on wood. Engraving is a popular option where laser beams burn the wood, leaving a mark of your logo or desired graphics. The edges of laser-cut signs have a burnt effect. CNC wood engraving does not leave any burn effects on the surface but rather a clean finish.

PVC – A durable plastic material perfect for indoor and outdoor use. We provide laser, CNC, and digital cutting services for PVC materials. CNC engraving on PVC is also available. 

Styrene – A more flexible alternative to PVC. We provide laser, CNC and digital cutting services for styrene. The CNC miller provides high-quality and extremely precise cuts. Thick sheets of styrene are cut with the CNC mill, whereas thinner sheets work best with a laser cutter (for example for cutting out stencils).
