CNC ROUTER USES AND CUSTOMERS

The National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing is an American racing company founded by Bill France Sr. in 1948. Upon retirement, he passed the torch on to his sons, and the youngest–Jim France–is CEO today. Each year, NASCAR sanctions over 1,500 races at over 100 tracks in 48 US states, as well as international events. The NASCAR Cup Series is the sport's highest level of competition, and the most popular series bar none. The company is still headquartered in Daytona Beach, Florida, where the sport first came together.

Continuing to expand its footprint, NASCAR now includes esports series as a way to further entertain fans and develop the next generation of driver talent. They also continue to produce myriad memorabilia in the form of clothing, display models, bags, cups, coolers, cornhole boards, pet accessories, and more. Several of these products are made exclusively using an Industrial CNC Router Table; as fast and precise as the cars out on the track.

Ripley's Believe It or Not! is an American franchise founded by Robert Ripley, which deals in strange and unusual items as well as stories. Originally a newspaper panel starting in 1918, the ‘Believe It or Not’ feature proved overwhelmingly popular and was later adapted into a wide variety of formats, including radio, television, comic books, a book series, and a chain of museums.

There are 28 Ripley's Believe It or Not! Odditoriums around the world today. In the spirit of Believe It or Not!, many are constructed oddly, such as the Orlando, Florida Odditorium which is built off-level to appear as if it’s sinking. These Odditoriums are brimming with over 100 years of collections curated by Robert Ripley himself as well as those who followed, with new additions made almost daily. Nearly all of the props and custom work that go into making these buildings feel so unique are made by the company, and part of that process requires a CNC Router Table, specifically from Industrial CNC.

The Georgia Aquarium is the largest aquarium in the United States, with an annual visitor count exceeding 2 million. It showcases hundreds of species and thousands of animals across its seven galleries, requiring more than 11 million gallons of water to operate. In 2001, Bernard Marcus had a vision of working with the city of Atlanta to create a grand educational and economic opportunity. After visiting 56 aquariums in 13 countries with his wife, he donated $250 million toward what was to become Georgia Aquarium. Corporate contributions followed and allowed the Aquarium to open in 2005. Executive director Jeff Swanagan was brought in as the aquarium's first employee, and he’s largely credited with the creation of the aquarium as we know it, from the design of the structure to the procurement of animals.

Informational signage and plaques are the most prevalent way to facilitate one core aspect of the aquarium; to educate. Thanks to a CNC Routing System, from Industrial CNC, the Georgia Aquarium can more easily pass on new knowledge to its visitors.

General Electric had a long history in steam turbine work, dating back to the 1900s. Through pioneering efforts during wartime, GE became a world leader in high-altitude flight technology. This success has led to widespread sales on many large aircrafts, including the Boeing 747. Continuing forward, GE Aviation’s military division is still working on innovations today to make tomorrow successful.

With more than 65,000 engines in service and always growing, GE continues to introduce new and innovative commercial engines as well. In addition to engines, leaps and bounds have been made in real-time monitoring and flight data analysis thanks to GE Aviation. Possessing more than 80 facilities, GE Aviation will no doubt continue to operate on the world stage and advance aviation in every corner of the globe, and a CNC Router System from Industrial CNC will make their work that much easier.

Wilson Sporting Goods was originally Ashland Manufacturing Company back in 1913 New York, and was first established to find unique ways of using the byproducts of a nearby meat-packing firm. By the following year, the company was producing tennis racket strings, violin strings, surgical sutures, baseball shoes, and tennis racquets. One more year and the company appointed Thomas E. Wilson as president, and from that moment onward everything changed. Wilson saw the potential of a sporting goods company, and began to focus solely on the manufacture of athletic equipment, naming the company after himself in 1916.

Wilson introduced the Ray Schalk catcher's mitt, an industry standard, as well as the first valve inflated football. They’ve also contributed the clothing improvements, such as football padding, face masks, and baseball leg guards. Another Wilson staple-the tennis ball tube-started out made of cardboard before the transition to plastic. The name Wilson has remained synonymous with sporting equipment, and that doesn’t appear to be changing soon. With the addition of an Industrial CNC Routing System, working in a wide range of innovative materials, those products will be easier than ever to develop and produce.

Kings Island is a 364-acre amusement park located in Ohio. Owned and operated by Cedar Fair, the park first opened in 1972 by the Taft Broadcasting Company as part of an effort to move a popular resort destination along the banks of the Ohio River that was prone to frequent flooding. A success, the park now features over 100 attractions including fourteen roller coasters and a 33-acre water park.

Early on, Kings Island appeared in popular sitcoms The Partridge Family and The  Brady Bunch. One of the park's most well-known attractions, The Racer, is often credited with reviving worldwide interest in roller coasters when interest was waning. Others, such as The Beast and Banshee, have set several world records. The largest investment in park history is Orion, a giga coaster that opened in 2020. Kings Island has won 18 awards for "Best Kids' Area", "Best New Ride" for Mystic Timbers, and most recently “Park of the Year 2022”. Amusement parks are more often than not constructing something, and with a CNC Router Machine from Industrial CNC, something just got a lot simpler.

Chemeketa's history can be traced back to 1952, when the district started the Salem Technical-Vocational School to provide training for the unemployed. It offered only Nursing and Electronics then. Some time after a fire claimed the school’s records, a college district was formed, and a competition was held to name the new school. The winning entry came from student Susan Blum, whose submission said that the term "Chemeketa" means "a peaceful gathering place" in the language of the regional Kalapuya tribe. In December 1969, it was official, and what is now Building 22 was the first official building.

There are a total of two campuses today, and three education centers throughout the state. In addition, the college has a Center for Business and Industry located downtown that houses its Small Business Development Center. It runs classes and programs that benefit the area’s specific businesses. The Northwest Wine Studies Center in Eolanear Roseburg even includes a working vineyard for its relevant programs, the first of its kind for the state. Chemteka’s goal is to collaborate to ensure purposeful, effective programs and services that support all students, and a CNC Router from Industrial CNC fits right in.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration is an independent agency of the US federal government responsible for just about everything related to the “New Frontier”; the civil space program, aeronautics research, and deep space research to name a few specifics. NASA was established in 1958, succeeding the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA). Since its establishment, most American space exploration efforts have been led by NASA, including the Apollo Moon landing missions, the Skylab space station, and later, the Space Shuttle.

Home & Garden Television is an American paid television channel owned by Warner Bros. Discovery. It primarily broadcasts reality programming related to home improvement and real estate, something that seems to catch everyone’s attention. Kenneth W. Lowe envisioned the concept of HGTV in 1992, and with some financial support from the E.W. Scripps corporate board, he purchased Cinetel, which was a small video production company in Knoxville. This was the base and production hub of the new network. The channel launched on December 30, 1994. The major programming themes, largely unchanged since the beginning, were home building and remodeling, landscaping and gardening, decorating and design, and crafts and hobbies.

During development, the channel was originally named the Home, Lawn, and Garden Channel. The network debuted with very little operating staff, but with gradual acceptance by other cable operators, it now reaches 94 million households in the United States and is consistently a Top 10 network. Some of their biggest shows include Love It Or List It, Good Bones, and Property Brothers. As HGTV learned, Industrial CNC Routers can improve any project.

Dean Kamen–a prolific inventor–developed a determination to help young people discover the rewards of science and technology, due in part to the disappointment he felt at the lack of enthusiasm for such pursuits in the PreK-12th age range. For over 30 years, beginning in 1989, Kamen has resolutely led the growth of FIRST to where it is now. FIRST is universally recognized as the leading not-for-profit STEM engagement program for kids worldwide, often structured as an afterschool program. This global robotics community is even featured in the original documentary “More Than Robots”.

FIRST wants to inspire young people to be leaders in science and technology fields by engaging them in mentor-based programs that build skills, an innovative spirit, and foster a well-rounded self confidence. Hands-on learning, working as a team, and exposure to career paths are the cornerstones of FIRST Robotics. Fundraising and competition are also a big part of the effort. The first FIRST Robotics Competition season was in 1992, at a high school gymnasium in New Hampshire. Discovery, innovation, impact, inclusion, teamwork, fun; sounds like a day working on an Industrial CNC Routing System.

Founded in 1997, AGC began as a hobby in the garage of the Monson Brothers. With a passion for riding the slopes of Big Bear Mountain in Southern California, they began to dabble in building boards for fun. Knowing that rental boards were basic in technology, they would offer the people renting boards to try theirs at no charge. After putting up a website and actively returning to the mountain for a few years, Tower Records called them about a few custom snowboards they needed for an upcoming contest. That was a huge step in the right direction.

But, the company had to evolve to survive long term, since it was a seasonal hustle. So the company began to expand its production into composite skateboards and other items that could be made on their equipment during the summertime. With such grit and ingenuity, it makes a lot of sense that American Gear sought out an Industrial CNC Router System.

BSU is a public research university in Indiana, with two satellite facilities in Fishers and Indianapolis. On July 25, 1917, the Ball brothers–industrialists and founders of the Ball Corporation–acquired the foreclosed Indiana Normal Institute for $35,100 and gave the school and surrounding land to the State of Indiana. Based on the school's close relationship with the Ball Corporation, a long-running nickname for the school was "Fruit Jar Tech." Additionally, During the 1922 short session of the Indiana legislature, the state renamed the school as Ball Teachers College. This was in recognition of the Ball family's continuing beneficence to the institution.

When the United States entered World War II, Ball State, like many other college campuses, saw a decline in male enrollment. At this time Ball State partnered with the United States military and established two training programs on campus—the Army Specialized Training Program and Navy V-1 Program. Today, around 200,000 people worldwide count themselves as Ball State Alumni. Industrial CNC is proud to be a part of this great school's heritage.

Spike, formerly Spike TV and currently Paramount Network, is an American cable television channel. The channel began its life as The Nashville Network (TNN), founded by WSM, Inc. TNN was a country music-themed television channel. It later found the most popularity as a division of MTV Networks. The channel features reruns of popular shows such as CSI, CSI: NY, Unsolved Mysteries, UFC, several Star Trek series and various original programs and movies. It’s also the home of the professional wrestling organization Total Nonstop Action Wrestling's flagship show TNA Impact!.

In 2015, Spike ran an original show called Framework. Hip-hop artist Common hosted while 13 furniture craftsmen designed unique pieces of furniture over the course of the season. The prize? The winner would get to launch their own line of furniture. The best cnc router for furniture building was used and prominently featured on the show as a testament to quality craftsmanship.

To own a speargun that is powerful, easy to track, and most importantly accurate is what started Koah Spearfishing and what keeps them going. These guns are not built by masses of hourly employees. They are created by a handful of builders in a 3000 sq ft facility, hand-focusing on every detail. These spearguns are built to perform and to last. Every cut, turn and shape in the speargun serves as a purpose in function to aid in aiming accuracy and tracking. The trick was making it look good and Koah has raised the bar.

The building process for all KOAH spearguns starts at the ‘rough sawn lumber’ stage, whether it’s Burmese teak, Sipo Mahogany, Purple heart or Padauk, everything gets cut down to size.
