From one-off prototypes to high-volume production runs, Stratus Industries provides routing solutions that help companies bring products to market faster while maintaining exceptional quality standards.
What Is Sheet Material Routing?
Sheet material routing is a precision manufacturing process that uses CNC routers to cut, shape, drill, groove, and machine flat materials into finished components.
This process is commonly used for:
- Retail displays
- Store fixtures
- Wood components
- Plastic parts
- Signage
- Cabinetry
- Commercial furniture
- OEM assemblies
- Industrial products
- Architectural applications
CNC routing delivers highly accurate parts while reducing waste and improving repeatability compared to manual fabrication methods.
