Chateau Brooklyn offers a full range of CNC milling and related services, with over 15 years of combined experience, we are uniquely positioned to help you with any project that you may have from small one off 2D cutting projects to complex prototyping of 3D objects. Serving a wide variety of industries, we have worked with everyone from artists and designers to engineers and physicists plan and create countless amazing parts. We are extremely well versed in all aspects of the process from concepting and initial computer assisted design (CAD) work right up to material choice and final cutting and assembly. We have also collaborated with clients working on longer production runs involving hundreds of parts requiring high degrees of repeatability and quality of cut.

Primarily CNC cutting was developed for processing wood and wood products like MDF, plywood, melamine, etc, but it can also be used to work other materials like foams (XPS, EPS, HDU, etc.) as well as non-ferrous metals (brass, aluminum) as well as composites (fiberglass, carbon fiber, LDPE, alumalite, etc) and a broad range of plastics (acrylics, polycarbonates, styrene, ABS, HDPE, PETG, etc.). Adapting the cutting methods and strategies to the required material, amazing results can be achieved in pretty much all materials.

CNC Machining
Using state of the art machinery and computer programs, Chateau Brooklyn can help you bring just about anything to life from as little as a hand drawn sketch up to the most detailed and complex 3D model. Regardless of whether you are an artist working on a piece needing some complex or repeated cuts, or a set designer working on a large-scale 3D set piece to be cut from foam and then hard coated, Chateau Brooklyn can help you take your vision of the page and into the physical world. Drawing on our own vast experience creating artistic works for the performing arts industry and fine art world, you will find it easy to us to communicate your needs and design intent to us and see it carried out with the utmost attention to detail.

Having also teamed up with clients from the world of scientific research and engineering, Chateau Brooklyn also has a deep understanding of the steps involved in producing highly specialized parts and assemblies necessary for carrying out research in physics or the creation of highly accurate acoustic models. In these situations, we have worked from extremely complex 3D models and worked to the most stringent degrees of tolerance to manufacture finely tuned parts and products requested by our clients.

Over our many years that our company has been in operation we have worked with acousticians and engineers to create a 1/20 scale model of the soon to be renovate Geffen Hall at Lincoln center. The project involved cutting hundreds of parts out of a variety of materials, designed to interlock perfectly to recreate both the exact shape on the interior environment to be built during the renovation as well as give an accurate scaled down representation of the material densities in order to carry out acoustic tests to determine the sound quality in the real world.

We have also worked with NJIT to create an adjustable mount for a highly specialized collimating lens used in a scientific experiment for atmospheric research. Constructed from carbon fiber and aluminum, the precision instrument was designed to give the researchers extreme control over the positioning of the lens during set up and tuning as well as offering very little movement when subjected to the elements during its month long stay outdoors collecting data.

CNC Milling New York
From our shop in Brooklyn, we have worked extensively in the artistic field collaborating with set designers and event producers creating set pieces and 3D sculptures. Recently, we helped design and 3D mill two mirror images of 14’ tall sphinxes for an event in Brooklyn. From the initial computer assisted design, the sphinxes were milled from dozens of sheets of XPS foam, assembled, and finally hard coated before being painted and delivered on site. The same client then came back to us with another project where we created three human figures that were similarly assembled and then covered in mirror mosaic to create disco human heads. In the same vein we have cut countless back drops and DJ booths for festivals and music events in NYC and across the US.

These are just some of the featured examples of the milling we have executed recently. There are many more and we are always happy to expand the types of milling we can do! As the field of fabrication develops and evolves, the CNC is becoming an indispensable tool in the fabrication of almost everything in the world as the degree of precision and speed expected increases as well. With the ability to repeat the creation of parts and work within tight turnaround times and short lead times, we invite you to reach out to us and see how we can help you with our wood cutting services, metal cutting services, plastic cutting services, and CAD services.
