Investment in CNC Routing Technology

Following many years of sub-contracting the machining of foam components to external suppliers Suttons took the decision in late 2015 to finally bring this capability in-house and purchase our very own CNC Routing Machine.

With great excitement March 2016 saw the arrival from Germany of a new £60K Twin Head Double Axis machine with an integral vacuum bed system capable of producing high precision foam components up to a maximum overall size of 600mm x 800mm.

We had always possessed the required design knowledge and foam material expertise but had chosen not to invest in the direct manufacturing of these products, preferring instead to develop our core foam fabrication business. However, things change and with the increased availability of new foam materials in the market it just seemed the right time to 'fly our own wings' and widen our product offering.

In basic terms CNC technology allows Suttons to automate the manufacture of foam components thereby offering more complex designs with an %27engineered appearance%27. %27Precision %26 Quality of Finish%27 really are the key benefits to the customer who is looking for a perfect fit with great presentation. If you would like to discuss a new CNC machined project and explore this technology further, then please visit the dedicated CNC Foam Routing page on our website and send us an email with a brief description of your requirements.
