Hi everyone and thanks for looking at my post.
I am in the process of researching for the starting of a new business - ply lining interiors of commercial vans.
I know a cnc machine is needed, hooked up to software that has the templates for the different styles of van interiors loaded into it.
What i don't know is what type of cnc machine would be best. Obvioulsy to start with its going to be a small operation so i dont need state of the art machine - infact i'll probably buy reconditioned or pre-owned machine to start with as i'll want to begin by doing this as cheap as possible.
Also which software would allow me carry out this operation? Again a cheap and easiest to understand version would be what i am looking for.
Do i need a cutting machine or would the whole template be able to be done via a router ? This question will sum up my knowledge in this area, as its probably dumb lol !!
The ply would be 6mm, 9mm and 12mm thick and longest length would be 6ft and max width would be 4ft.
There will be no fancy cutting , patterns or 3D effects and the machine would be solely required for cutting the ply wood to the various template shapes.
Any advice you guys can give or if you can point me in the right direction then i will be hugely gratefull
Cheers
Ross
