I am in a total loss and tangent in looking for what I seek
I am a scrtach builder mainly architectural models and other scrtch built diromas and panels for amusement parks etc.
I am not sure if I need a laser or router or what?
Here are the basics I want to cut
Wood or foam no greater than 3"
Styrene no greater than 1/4
Acrylic no greater than 1/4
Metal not a priority in this but would be nice(aluminum no greater than 1 inch)
Id like to etch or score, would also like to 3d
Base size 24"x36 i could go larger or a little smaller but not much smaller
I am new to CNC but familiar with CAD and computers
ANY recommendations would be nice Local US i would rather not have a Overseas machine
I am not sure what to get I would like to keep it under 5k
less is always better though
Many Thanks in advance!!!!!
I am just overwhelmed by the options....
