C.R. Onsrud, a leading manufacturer of American-made CNC machinery, recently hosted an event that brought together over 200 attendees from various backgrounds, including CNC vendors, experienced users, and novices. The company's goal was to provide a platform for attendees to experience CNC technology firsthand and learn about the latest innovations in the field.
The event featured over a dozen live demonstrations, showcasing the capabilities of C.R. Onsrud's range of machines, including the A-Series, M-Series, T-Series, RH-Series, CH-Series, and Inverted Router. These demonstrations allowed attendees to witness various processing techniques, such as 3D wall panel manufacturing, aluminum gear production, and PVC sign letter creation.
According to Director of Sales & Business Development Jeff Onsrud, the company aimed to cater to a wide range of interests by using different materials, processing techniques, and machine types in the demonstrations. This approach enabled attendees to gain a deeper understanding of the capabilities of each machine and how they can be applied in various industries.
One of the highlights of the event was the demonstration of the A-Series machine, which showcased its versatility in producing complex components such as MDF 3D wall panels, aluminum gears, and PVC sign letters. The company also highlighted its ability to produce linear profile extrusion components, phenolic tool bench organizers, melamine cabinet nests, plywood furniture frames, steel cutting, and friction stir welding.
The addition of an 83,000-square-foot building to the company's campus last year has enabled C.R. Onsrud to accommodate more visitors and vendors, with plans to increase attendance even further in the future. This expansion reflects the company's commitment to providing a comprehensive experience for attendees and fostering connections among manufacturers.
Senior Manager of Regional Sales and Marketing Initiatives Thomas Tuck emphasized the importance of events like this in keeping manufacturers connected and sharing ideas. He noted that the event provided a platform for companies to showcase their innovations, collaborate on new projects, and stay up-to-date with industry trends.

Additionally, a demonstration of the Inverted Router, invented by Charlie Onsrud 50 years ago, was held as part of the celebration of the company's 50-year journey.
