Precision CNC Cutting & Routing Services in NYC
High-speed 3-axis CNC router cutting for custom architectural signage, dimensional lettering, hardwoods, acrylics, Dibond ACM, and non-ferrous metals. Serving all NYC boroughs with micrometer repeatability.
Materials We Cut & Route with CNC Precision
From architectural hardwoods and cast acrylics to structural aluminum composite (ACM) and sign foam, our 3-axis CNC router tooling is calibrated for burr-free edges and tight assembly tolerances.
Custom CNC Fabrication Capabilities for NYC Projects
3D Dimensional Letters & Corporate Logos
Precision routed letters in acrylic, painted PVC, and brushed aluminum. Beveled edges, threaded stud mount holes, and laser-precise paper alignment templates included with every order.
Architectural Fretwork & Decorative Screens
Complex lattice patterns, acoustic ceiling baffles, restaurant partitions, and decorative wall cladding routed out of hardwood veneers, compact laminates, and lightweight ACM.
Push-Through Acrylic & Backlit Sign Boxes
Stepped routing for push-through acrylic letters penetrating aluminum fascia panels. Provides tight zero-gap tolerances, crisp halo illumination, and clean hidden mechanical fastening.

How We Turn Your Vector Files into Finished CNC Parts
CAD File & Vector Pre-Flight
Upload your DXF, AI, or DWG drawings. Our engineers verify kerf offsets, bit radii, nesting efficiency, and material yield.
Substrate Cal & Vacuum Fixture
Sheets are inspected for thickness uniformity and secured to our high-draw multi-zone vacuum bed to prevent vibration or bowing.
High-Speed Multi-Tool Routing
Multi-tool automatic changers execute roughing, pocketing, and final finishing passes with specialized single-edge and spiral bits.
De-Burring & NYC Delivery / Pickup
Tabs removed, edges smoothed, and parts cleaned. Packed with protective masking for courier delivery or rapid workshop pickup.

Everything You Need to Know About NYC CNC Cutting
What file formats do you accept for CNC router cutting?
We work directly with vector files including .DXF, .DWG, .AI (Adobe Illustrator with all fonts outlined), .EPS, and .SVG. For 3D surface carvings and architectural reliefs, we accept .STEP, .IGES, and high-resolution grayscale displacement maps. If you only have sketches or a PDF, our in-house drafting team can convert your design to production-ready toolpaths.
What is your standard turnaround time for CNC jobs in NYC?
Standard CNC router production runs 3 to 5 business days from file approval. For emergency client deadlines, we provide same-day and 24-hour rush CNC services on in-stock sheet goods (Acrylic, Baltic Birch, Sintra PVC, and Dibond ACM).
Can I supply my own materials for you to cut?
Yes! We frequently process customer-supplied lumber, architectural acoustic panels, solid surface slabs (Corian), and specialized sheet stock. Materials must be flat within 1/8″, free from hidden staples or screws, and fit our 5′ x 10′ bed envelope.
What is the maximum sheet size and thickness you can route?
Our heavy-duty industrial vacuum tables accommodate sheet stock up to 5 feet by 10 feet (60″ × 120″). Our Z-axis travel handles material thicknesses up to 8 inches, permitting deep multidirectional 3D carvings and thick layered foam blocks.
Do you provide edge finishing, painting, or assembly?
Yes. Beyond raw cutting, SignsRiver offers comprehensive post-processing in our NYC facility, including flame polishing for clear acrylic, chamfering, radius routing, custom spray booth painting (Pantone PMS matching), and pre-assembly with mounting hardware.
Is there a minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
No MOQ. We handle single one-off prototypes for designers and artists as smoothly as high-volume thousands-of-units production runs for national retail rollouts and general contractors.
