Industrial CNC cutting melamine panels in nesting
Specialized Service

Precision CNC Cutting

3 machining centers with 3 and 5 axes and +/- 0.1mm accuracy. Industrial panel cutting up to 3000x2000mm serving Greater Lisbon and the entire country.

Fábrica do Corte's CNC cutting service is the industrial solution for carpentries, furniture manufacturers and professionals requiring high-precision cutting in various materials. With three machining centers equipped with 3 and 5-axis technology, we guarantee consistent results on every piece, from small batches to large production runs.

CNC machining enables straight cuts, curves and complex shapes with +/- 0.1mm accuracy and 0.05mm repeatability. Each piece comes off the machine with the exact dimensions specified in the technical file, eliminating the variability of traditional methods and significantly reducing rework on site.

Located in Santa Iria da Azóia, in the Greater Lisbon area, we serve carpentries and furniture companies across the country. Nesting cut optimization is included in all jobs, maximizing material usage and reducing costs for the client.

Technical Capabilities

Work Area

Up to 3000 x 2000mm per panel, allowing work with standard-size boards without the need for pre-cuts.

Precision

+/- 0.1mm with 0.05mm repeatability between identical pieces — essential for perfect serial assembly.

Machining Axes

3 and 5 axes for 2D and 3D cuts, including chamfers, rebates, milling and complex three-dimensional profiles.

Minimum Size

Pieces from 50 x 50mm. For smaller pieces, consult feasibility with our technical team.

Cut Optimization

Automatic nesting included in all jobs, with software that maximizes the use of each board.

Complex Shapes

Curves, circles, organic shapes and irregular contours — anything that can be defined in a vector file.

Materials We Cut

Our CNC machining centers work with a wide range of materials used in industrial carpentry and furniture manufacturing. Each material has optimized cutting parameters to ensure the best possible finish.

  • MDFavailable in thicknesses from 3mm to 30mm, ideal for milling and machining complex shapes. Excellent surface finish.
  • Melaminedecorative-coated panels in thicknesses from 8mm to 25mm. Wide range of patterns and colors available.
  • Acrylic (PMMA)transparent or colored, in thicknesses up to 20mm. Ideal for signage, displays and protections.
  • HPL / Phenolic Compacthigh-pressure laminate for countertops, sanitary partitions and technical applications. Thicknesses from 0.8mm to 13mm.
  • Corian / Solid Surfacesolid acrylic material for countertops and work surfaces. Allows invisible joints.
  • Viroccement and wood panel, moisture resistant. Suitable for outdoor and humid environments.
  • ACM / Alucobondaluminum composite panel for signage and facades. Can be milled for folding.

How the Process Works

1

Send the cutting list

Send files in DXF, DWG or vector PDF format via our form, email or WhatsApp. If you only have a list of dimensions, we accept that too.

2

Receive a quote within 24h

We analyze your project and send a detailed quote within 24 business hours, including price, timeline and technical specifications.

3

Approval and scheduling

After quote approval, we schedule production according to availability and job urgency.

4

CNC cutting with automatic optimization

We program the machining centers with optimized nesting to maximize material usage and execute the cut with +/- 0.1mm precision.

5

Quality control and dispatch

All pieces undergo dimensional verification before dispatch. Pick up at our premises or receive by delivery across mainland Portugal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions about CNC Cutting

What is the maximum thickness you can CNC cut?

We cut materials up to 80mm thick on our CNC machining centers. The most common thicknesses range from 3mm to 30mm for MDF and melamine, up to 30mm in acrylic and up to 13mm in HPL phenolic compact. For unusual materials or thicknesses, we recommend contacting us to confirm feasibility.

Do you do curved cuts and complex shapes?

Yes, our 3 and 5-axis machining centers can cut any geometric shape, including curves, circles, organic forms and complex contours in 2D and 3D. Simply send the DXF or DWG file with the vector drawing and we execute the cut with +/- 0.1mm precision.

How should I send the cutting list?

We accept DXF, DWG and vector PDF files. You can send them directly via our website quote form, by email to info@fabricadocorte.pt, or via WhatsApp. If you only have an Excel list or table with dimensions, we also accept that — we create the necessary technical file.

Is cut optimization included in the price?

Yes, nesting optimization (arranging pieces on the board to minimize waste) is included in all our CNC cutting services. We use specialized software that maximizes material usage, reducing the final cost for the client.
