CNC business. Making money

[m_c]

I’m looking for someone to cut some simple designs for me. I’m wanting to start a small business selling wall hanging art and I can’t afford the machine just yet. I’d also like to test the market with some of my ideas.

I’m getting my head around ‘easel’ as we speak so hoping to be able to create the files for someone like yourself to then cut for me.

Looking at 3 or 4mm plywood as the material (using birch plywood in easel mainly because it’s there as an option).

The designs are different layers of an image that I then glue together and colour etc giving a 3d feel.

I have PM’d you Pilsbury, would love to chat more and see if it’s something you’d be interested in helping with.

The eventual goal if all goes well is to purchase a machine from Dean and produce them myself but that may take a while.

Happy to hear from anyone on here that may be interested to cut for me.

All the best.

For that thickness of ply, I'd look at laser cutting. It'll be quicker, and be less limiting in the shapes you can cut.

Thanks m_c

Very interesting, I’ve already had a look and seen that an ‘Oculus’ laser cutting system might be what I need so I’ve emailed them for more info. I really appreciate that.

If any of you guys have a laser attachment for your CNC’s (I think I’ve read that’s an option on them?) then I’d still be interested to hear from anyone that may want to help whilst I’m starting up and without a machine.

Thanks again.
