The OMNI CNC router is a fine example of turning materials on a router. The process is very simple. A rotary device works as 4th axis on a conventional 3-axis router. The CNC router can carve exquisite newel posts, chair jambs, crown molding, statue profiling, modillion engraving, and wall moldings. The applications can only stretch the imagination
The rotary device works as a 4th axis indexer that allows machining of parts in the round profile. Free form ornamental turning is revolutionizing statue profiling. The Omni CNC router is making master craftsmen out of ordinary souls.
This also calls for introspection on a disappearing art of master carpenter. But technology is no more the servant of man rather it is breaking new grounds and with the advent of the Chinese company OMNI-CNC, new ground breaking technology is now available at an affordable price. The 4th axis with the rotary device makes the job of carving newel post and statues like 3d carving on Buddha.
The machine frame is of robust build quality. There are 12 spindles which can be employed on various materials like MDF (medium density fiberboard is an engineered wood product), solid woods, plastics and acrylics. The rotary device can process irregular objects as well as different columns. The digital servo brushless motor on all the axes is maintenance free and gives unmatched routing flexibility. Sometimes this Omni CNC machine is dubbed as statues CNC router.
The design process for carving a statue profile will need the visualization of the concept. For this 3D modelling software or 3D CAD (Computer Aided Design) is required. Instead of drawing the object via lines (by a pencil) the 3d object is built up by inserting and changing fundamental 3D shapes. OMNI CNC router machines for profiling statues come with the right software tools to execute a tool path for the visualized 3D shape and allow the CNC router to trace the tool path. The technical word is called creating the Part file for the CNC router to cut the profile. The Omni CNC router for statue profiling is fast and to watch it in action is itself breathtaking.
