Technology does the rough work, but craftsmanship puts the finishing touches on the piece. That’s how we summarize how we combine CNC machining with the handcrafted work in our workshop in Granada: the machine provides the precision, and human hands provide the final finish.
In this article, we explain what technology we use, what types of parts we can manufacture, what materials we work with, and when it makes sense to opt for CNC machining rather than manual cutting.
We use a multi-head system that allows us to cut, drill, and engrave in a single cycle. This ensures precise dimensional consistency and strict control over cutting tolerances—something that is very difficult to maintain on a piece-by-piece basis using exclusively manual methods.
When a project requires multiple identical parts—for example, several panels for a lattice or several modules for the same piece of furniture—even the slightest variation between parts becomes noticeable when they are assembled. CNC machining eliminates that margin of error between units.
| Material | Common use |
|---|---|
| Solid wood (mainly oak) | Furniture and structural components |
| Phenolic plywood | High-Traffic Projects |
| High-density DM | Decorative pieces and moldings |
| PVC and Engineering Polymers | Specific Technical Solutions |
The CNC handles the parts that require repeatability and precision. But the sanding, fine-tuning, and finishing are still done by hand in our workshop. It’s neither entirely manual nor entirely machine-driven: each piece goes through both phases before it’s considered finished.
No, it complements it. The cutting and hollowing-out are done using CNC; the sanding, adjustment, and final finishing are still done by hand.
Yes, in addition to solid wood, we work with phenolic plywood, high-density MDF, PVC, and engineering polymers.
In both cases. The advantage of precision is greater when there are multiple parts that must fit together, but it is also used for single parts with complex geometries.
Architectural latticework, panels with repetitive patterns, and components with concealed hardware that require precision cutouts.
