CNC Routing
We can offer swift, accurate CNC wood cutting and CNC routing services for plywood, MDF and other materials, programming using 3D CAD software with fast turnaround and high-volume component production.If you require high-quality CNC routing services, we can offer you expert CNC routing and CNC wood cutting services from our factory at Swindon.
Our CNC routing service will help you optimise material usage and achieve highly accurate machining results whilst our state-of-the-art CAD programming and nesting software will minimise waste, increase efficiency, and provide components with sub-1mm accuracy.
3 Dimensional parts for CNC wood cutting
Our production machinery includes a modern 3-axis CNC router that can produce 3-dimensional shapes to the same exceptional accuracy and consistency. If you need to turn your CAD designs into hard models then get in touch and we will see if we can help.
Fast prototyping using our CNC plywood cutting service
We also offer prototype production services, allowing you to test out your dimensional models with lower-cost substrates such as plywood or MDF.
In addition to our CNC plywood cutting service for rapid prototyping, our Fast Track service is also available to speed up your product development and production process.
Consistent production runs for CNC wood cutting
We welcome larger production runs, or top-up production if you are at capacity, as well as handling those irritating smaller batches that are of vital importance to you or your customer. We understand the need for consistency and our quality processes will ensure that accuracy is maintained throughout our CNC routing services. We aim to keep your main production machinery operating at optimal levels.
Where are Crocodile Packaging’s CNC services located?
Our CNC services are located at our UK factory in South Marston in Swindon, Wiltshire. In addition to CNC, we are also well known as the best place to buy wooden crates for storage and international shipping.
Ask us to quote for our CNC routing service
If you’re interested in our CNC wood cutting services, please send us your CAD drawings, material options and quantity required. We’ll provide you with a quotation and lead-time. If you don’t have CNC-ready drawings, we can help by extracting dimensions from your 2D or 3D CAD models, or by developing shop drawings and costings based on your dimensional sketches or drawings – all part of our comprehensive CNC routing services.
What CNC routing services does Crocodile offer for wood and panel products?
Crocodile provides a full CNC routing service for plywood, MDF, OSB and other sheet materials, producing precision‑cut components to tight tolerances for industrial applications. Our state‑of‑the‑art routers and panel processing equipment handle both one‑off development work and repeat production runs. This gives UK manufacturers a reliable CNC wood cutting and CNC plywood routing capability alongside their packaging and crate programmes.
How can Crocodile’s CNC router services support bespoke wooden packaging projects?
Using CAD data or customer drawings, our CNC cutting services machine exact‑fit panels, inserts and fittings that drop straight into your wooden shipping crates and pallet boxes. This allows complex apertures, rebates and fixing details to be produced consistently, improving assembly speed and repeatability on the packing line. By combining CNC wood routing services with in‑house crate manufacture, Crocodile helps reduce handling, lead times and overall project cost.
What are the benefits of using a UK CNC routing service rather than cutting components in‑house?
Outsourcing to Crocodile’s CNC routing UK facility removes the need for capital investment in routers, tooling and extraction, as well as operator training and programming time. High‑speed nesting and automated toolpaths minimise material waste, which can significantly reduce the cost per component compared with manual cutting. For many customers, this frees internal resources to focus on core production while still receiving accurately cut, bar‑coded parts on a just‑in‑time basis.
Which materials can Crocodile process through its CNC router cutting service?
Our CNC wood CNC services specialise in timber‑based sheet materials including plywood, MDF, OSB and similar substrates used in crates, fixtures and industrial components. We can also process certain plastics and foams used for protective inserts, presentation fittings and point‑of‑sale displays, subject to project review. This versatility allows a single CNC cutting service to support both your packaging programmes and wider production or display requirements.
How does Crocodile ensure accuracy and repeatability across large CNC cutting batches?
3‑axis CNC routing centres are driven from validated CAD/CAM data, so once a programme is signed off, every subsequent batch is cut to the same profile and depth. Tool selection, spindle speeds and feeds are optimised during first‑off production to achieve clean edges, tight dimensional control and efficient cycle times. Combined with robust material handling and quality checks, this gives OEMs and industrial users confidence in consistent, repeatable CNC router services for ongoing production.
