Can machine various materials, including wood, polystyrene foam, substitute wood, epoxy resin, acrylic, plastic, and soft metals.
Can locate the final processing coordinates and continue the engraving when there’s a sudden power failure, blade detachment, or manual pause, preventing your workpiece from damage.
Multi-Axis Linkage
To adapt to different 3D machining applications, ElephMax 3D CNC router machine is designed to support 3/4/5 axis linkages.
For 3-axis linkage, the X, Y, and Z axes perform simultaneous motion to achieve relief processing. For 4-axis linkage, you can choose the type that has a rotary axis on the worktable. It can process cylindrical objects. Or the type featuring a ±90° swiveling spindle head allows side-angle routing, undercuts, and complex curved panel edge-machining.
Our 5-axis linkage spindles enable machining from multiple angles. So it can deal with undercuts and deep grooves.
ATC and Auto Tool Sensor
To increase automation, our 3D CNC router is equipped with an automatic tool changer (ATC) system and an auto tool sensor.
The ATC system allows the router to automatically change the cutting tools within a few seconds and complete complex machining tasks seamlessly. Combined with the auto tool sensor, ElephMax 3D model CNC routers are able to automatically measure tool length and compensate for tool wear and position deviation to ensure absolute consistency in the depth of 3D surface processing. This can largely help you reduce labor requirements.

ElephMax 3D CNC routers are widely applied in industrial applications across woodworking, furniture production, mold making, and architectural manufacturing.
Generally, the 3D CNC routing projects we cover include solid wood furniture, wood carving and sculptures, architectural millwork, mold making, interior decoration, signage, and custom manufacturing.
Our supported file formats include STL, STEP, IGES, DXF, OBJ, and NC / G-Code.
If you have requirements, our engineers can also help verify your design 3D CNC router files. You can send us your design, and we will evaluate it and recommend the most suitable 3D CNC machining solution for you.
Yes. We can provide free 3D CNC router file samples to help you evaluate the processing quality, software compatibility, and equipment performance before making a purchase. If you have specific product requirements, we also offer free file verification and process assessment services.
Sure, you can use the existing 3D models for CNC router production. But you need to take care that these models cannot be sent directly to the machine. 3D CNC router machines require you to convert the 3D model into G-code through CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) software.
If there is difficulty in using the software, do not worry. ElephMax provides free software training and 24-hour online and offline services in multiple languages.
Yes. If you have a 3D model or CAD design, we can help prepare it for CNC machining. Before production, we will review your design to ensure it is suitable for processing and optimize it to achieve the best balance among precision, surface finish, and production efficiency.
Yes. Each ElephMax 3D CNC router is equipped with the essential machining programs and technical support, helping you start production quickly.
We provide sample machining programs for machine testing and commissioning, post-processor guidance for supported CAD/CAM software, programming support during installation and commissioning, etc. If you have your own products, we can assist in optimizing your processing procedures based on your project needs.
To make a 3D design, first, we create a digital three-dimensional model of the product using CAD software. Then we design the model according to the circular cutting tools, including internal corner filleting, draft angles, and Z-axis depth budget.
After the 3D model is reviewed, it will be imported into the CAM software. Our programmers plan the specific movement trajectories of the cutting tools here. Then we run advanced 3D simulation in the software. Finally, the post-processor converts the visual cutting path into a specific NC or G-code file unique to this machine.
