Speaking from Experience: Visit to the candy factory

WELCOME!

It is hard to believe that it was almost ten years ago I witnessed a CNC router in action for the very first time. I was fascinated and simply had to have one! Although I had been in the creative end of the three dimensional sign business for most of my life I didn't really know what I would do with one of these machines - but I just knew it could do fantastic stuff.

Along with the CNC router I discovered the wonderful material called Precision Board and the glues, primers and other companion products they offer. Since then we have gone through many tons of the material using it in most signs and projects we tackle. This journal will chronicle our many adventures both past, present and future. I'll talk from the perspective of someone who pushes these products to the creative limit on a daily basis. I'll be adding to the stories two or three times each week. -dan

Visit to the candy factory

We love to be creative. We also love tools that allow us to go as far as possible in this regard. Today we got to visit the ultimate candy factory - where they make MultiCam CNC machines in Texas. Everything is indeed bigger in this state and this place is MASSIVE, with machines of every description in various stages of finish. Kelsey and his team generously showed us around. We even got to try some delicious Texas barbecue.

Our purpose for the visit was to learn all about MultiCam CNC plasma cutters as we will soon be adding one to our arsenal. We look forward to seeing what kind of creative things we can make with this cool new tool giving us a hand. Stay tuned...
