CNC Cutting
Sunshine Coast
Accurate, repeatable cutting for packaging prototypes, inserts, gaskets, signage, and production batches. Based in Corbould Park.
ProtoMade provides CNC, oscillating-knife, and drag-knife cutting on the Sunshine Coast for makers, product teams, trades, and small businesses that need clean, consistent sheet-material parts without sending work interstate. We can also kiss cut, crease with a rolling tool, and V cut for packaging prototypes, fit checks, and repeatable short runs.

Materials
What we cut.
Send us the material details, thickness, dimensions, and quantity. We will confirm suitability before quoting.
Soft sheet materials
Cork and felt
Coasters, protective pads, spacers, acoustic pieces, liners, and repeatable custom profiles.
Adhesive materials
Vinyl stickers and labels
Custom shapes, product labels, identification graphics, and short-run branded applications.
Practical applications
Cut it. Check it. Improve it.
Packaging prototypes
Check the carton before committing.
Cut the insert, fold the carton, test the fit, and correct the file while changes are still quick and inexpensive.
Cork and felt parts
Repeatable shapes in soft materials.
Produce coasters, protective pads, liners, and other custom profiles with a clean, consistent cut.
Labels and short runs
Accurate cutting from a clean vector file.
Use a supplied SVG, AI, DXF, or vector PDF to produce stickers, labels, and repeatable short-run parts.
Why local matters
Check the fit before committing.
A cut sample gives you a physical answer. Fold it, fit the product, test the insert, and identify problems while changes are still inexpensive.
Local pickup in Corbould Park makes fast iteration practical. Adjust the file, cut the next version, and keep moving.

Common questions
CNC cutting FAQ.
What files do you need?
DXF, vector PDF, SVG, or AI files are usually suitable. Include one known dimension so we can confirm scale.
Can you cut one prototype?
Yes. One-off prototypes and short runs are welcome. We can also repeat the same file for larger batches.
Can you design the packaging?
ProtoMade focuses on cutting and physical testing. For full packaging or industrial design, we can connect you with Lotrix.
How is CNC cutting priced?
Pricing depends on setup, cutting time, material, thickness, complexity, and quantity. Send the file and specifications for a firm quote.
