Using CNC routers to create display cabinets and exhibition stands offers precision and customization options. At Westfield Patterns we can help you to design these and can manufacture them to your requirements using our CNC router machining services.
1. Display Cabinets
Display cabinets made using CNC routers are typically crafted with intricate detailing and customized features. Here’s how they can be made:
Material Choices:
Wood: Common types include plywood, MDF, or veneered versions of either or solid wood.
Acrylic: For a more modern look with transparent panels.
Composite Materials: Such as laminated boards for durability and aesthetics.
Design Elements of display cabinets:
Cutouts and Inlays: CNC routers allow for intricate designs, including geometric patterns, cutouts, and inlays.
Joinery:
Precise joinery options such as dovetail, mortise and tenon, or finger joints.
Shelving:
Bespoke shelves that can be adjusted for height or made fixed.
Glass or Acrylic Panels: Slots or frames can be cut precisely to hold glass or acrylic panels.
Lighting Integration using CNC router machining services:
Routed channels for LED strips or recessed lighting make it easy to turn a design into a bright modern display, as a result pulling more people towards your exhibition.
An example are these free-standing letters for our customers at Bretton Baptist church, where they make Jesus the center of the stage.
Finishing Options for display cabinets
Staining or Painting: Depending on the material, cabinets can be stained for a natural wood finish or painted in various colors.
Veneers: CNC routers can also machine veneered versions of ply or MDF for a polished look.

2. Display Stands & Exhibition stands
Display or exhibition stands can be built to uniquely using our CNC router machining service to display items and be used to hold products or the actual stand itself can be the item on display.
Our bespoke service consequently provides you with the perfect opportunity to create the winning display for your event. Contact us HERE to tell us about your project or needs.
For instance, we can cut material into shapes used for a display in a museum or a visitor’s center. we could certainly cut material into the shape of animals, to display information about them at a wildlife park or create the shape of the earth in an environmental display.
Display stands are often simpler in design but can also benefit from the precision of CNC routing, using a technique to jigsaw parts together for a strong yet hassle-free assembly.
Material Choices:
Wood or MDF: Often used for stability and ease of customization.
Metal: For more industrial or modern designs.
Acrylic: Popular for its clean, modern look and the ability to create interesting shapes.
Design Elements of an exhibition stand:
Custom Shapes: CNC routers can cut stands into any shape, from simple geometric designs to more complex forms.
Branding: Engraving logos or other branding elements directly into the material.
Multi-Tiered Displays: Creating multiple levels to showcase different products effectively.
Portability: Designing for flat-pack assembly or easy disassembly for transport.
Finishing Options:
Paint and Lacquer: For durability and aesthetic appeal.
Textured Finishes: CNC routers can create textured surfaces, adding a unique tactile element.
Examples of exhibition stands being made using CNC router machining services:
Retail Display Units: Stands designed for specific products with compartments and branding.
Exhibition Displays: Custom-built stands for showcasing items at trade shows, galleries, museums, or events.
Trophy Cases: Display cabinets with glass doors, lighting, and custom shelving to showcase awards or collectibles.
In Summary using CNC router machining services in the creation of display cabinets and exhibition stands and free-standing signs offers unmatched precision and the ability to fully customize designs according to specific needs. This technology allows for efficient production while maintaining a high level of detail and craftsmanship.
