Multicam CNC routers and laser cutting machines for woodworking and museum signage

FLAAR is interested in all equipment that can assist museums to prepare educational displays. We especially look at equipment that can recreate models of pre-Columbian art, artifacts, temples, and pyramids of prehispanic Mesoamerica. At Sign Istanbul show in Turkey (early December 2006) we visited with the folks from Multicam.

Various kinds of materials that these machines can handle

Plastics, wood, MDF (medium density fiberboard, metal, textiles, foam (Styrofoam).

Some machines cut with a laser, others use different technology.

Leading manufactures of CNC routers include

Haas Automation

Multicam

Thermwood

The CNC routers I see are exhibited at SGIA, ISA and some trade shows in Europe . For example, the recent Sign Istanbul that I attended in Turkey (early December 2006) had probably a dozen CNC routers on display.

Thermwood and some other companies do not exhibit at sign trade shows since they are mainly in the world of furniture making.

Potential for Museum Displays

You can create scale models of pre-Columbian architecture; you can do topographic maps of archaeological sites. You can see some examples on the website of BlueGenieArt.com. Do a Google.com search for CNC router museum display and you will find many examples.
