It’s not just about integrating CNC technology, but reinventing key processes to adapt to the current market. With digitisation, you can achieve various goals:
- Generational renewal: prevent the closure of many family-run businesses due to a lack of continuity. Modernise processes to make traditional trades more competitive.
- Labour decentralisation: enable local workshops and businesses to thrive without needing to migrate to big cities.
- Market expansion: diversify your capabilities and customers with the support of CNC technology and online sales of your products.
Benefits of integrating CNC machines into your business or project
They’re a crucial investment for any workshops looking to reduce costs and increase productivity:
- Replicate your designs accurately and at low cost.
- Reduce lead times and speed up workflows.
- Maintain the quality of your products.
- Achieve payback within the first year of use, or even sooner depending on usage intensity.
- More customers value unique and personalised products.
How to make this transition to CNC?
1. Define your needs
To efficiently implement CNC, you must identify which processes in your current production consume the most resources without adding value to the final product –for instance, in wood carving, this might be the roughing stage–.By automating these tasks, you can focus on what truly differentiates your business: the quality and creativity of the finishes –a CNC milling machine would free up time spent on roughing for use in design–.
Additionally, digitising the design of a high-demand product allows for a fast response time, as it can be replicated quickly, precisely and unsupervised –especially beneficial if you sell wooden name signs, via social media or e-commerce, and you prepare the most requested ones in advance–.
2. Explore which machine is most suitable
Start with a CNC that meets your current needs and allows you to gain experience in the industry and machine handling.
In a second phase, as your business grows, you can expand your capabilities, production or sector of activity with more advanced models or a complementary machine. For example, purchase a Red Fox 2 milling machine and, later, an Atheon CO2 Laser for detailed engravings.

3. Finance your CNC if needed
We offer several flexible financing systems to help you start with the CNC technology your business needs. Tailored solutions to ensure you seize every opportunity available:
- Renting: pay a rental fee for using the machine to an entity that provides it, with associated services such as insurance. At the end of the contract, you can renew, purchase the asset or buy a new one.
- Loans: personal or business; usually through your own bank. Lower costs than renting because full insurance isn’t included and current market interest rates are very low.
- Self-financing: requires commitment and financial discipline. We offer the option to split the purchase into instalments and deliver the machine once payment is completed. This system is very useful if you’re unable to obtain bank financing.
- Grants: support from regional and sector entities to help businesses invest in equipment, with various payment methods and benefits, including non-repayable financing or very low-interest rates.
- Unemployment capitalisation: a government service that allows you to use your benefit to start a new business, receiving your accumulated unemployment amount in one payment and requiring justification for how the funds are used.
