"In the old days of custom trade show displays, we used to have a template and a router, and
we would clone the piece and make them one at a time. This can produce the same exact
part multiple times and do it very quickly." "So I imagine that the accuracy must be
much higher which is got to help..." "The accuracy is to 132nd of an inch."
"That's got to help with just the genuine overall assemblability, and take a part and
reassemble it process." "Right, everything fits together perfectly."
"Pretty noisy." "It is very noisy."
"Tell me about the machine then." "This is a CNC machine, a Computer Numerically
Controlled router. It is a robot essentially that is programmed to cut the parts and pieces
to build out displays." "What trade show exhibits are you actually
building right now?" "It's cutting out ribs for display walls.
These are the tops of the walls and we're making some cuts in here to insert fasteners
which are going to lock the walls together once they're all built.
These pieces will be cut out of here and the frame will be assembled and skinned on both
sides with plywood and then laminated. The fasteners allow the walls to be put together
to form consecutively to make a 20x20 booth or a 10x20 booth.
It can be refigured in different configurations. It's not limited in any way. We can produce
round parts, ribs to make round displays, to make rounded walls absolutely perfect.
The entire trade show displays is designed on autocad and then each piece of the trade
show exhibits is broken out into individual parts and that individual part is broken out
into all the parts and pieces that make up the one part, which is what we have here."
