Theatre And Film

Scenery cut and ready before tech week

GrayTech CNC cuts scenic panels, doors, windows, fretwork and props for theater, film and television. Send us drawings and a date. We turn them into finished parts on a 5×12 ft CNC router in Yorba Linda.

Two show doors, drawings to finished parts in a couple of days

A local theater needed a set of decorative doors on a short schedule. Each one was cut from a single sheet of birch plywood, with clean, tear-out-free edges ready for paint.

What we cut for productions

Doors, windows and facades

Cathedral windows, gates, shutters and storefronts with the detail you'd otherwise build by hand.

Scenic panels and fretwork

Pierced screens, grilles, lattice and ornamental borders for walls, portals and header pieces.

Props and set dressing

Furniture parts, frames, molding profiles and the small pieces that make a set feel lived in.

Signage and lettering

Cut-out letters, V-carved signs and logos for storefronts, marquees and period dressing.

Repeat parts and flat skins

Matching parts nested tightly across sheets, so every copy is identical and material goes further.

Edgebanded panels

Clean, durable edges on panels that get handled, shifted and loaded in and out night after night.

Built around your production calendar

Fast turnaround

We know load-in dates don't move. Tell us when you need parts and we'll tell you straight whether we can hit it.

Big pieces in one cut

Our 5×12 ft bed handles oversize panels without seams or splices. Full-height doors fit on one sheet.

We draw it up for you

No CAD files? Send a sketch, a designer's elevation or reference photos. We'll build the cut files in Fusion 360 or Vectric Aspire and check them with you first.

30+ years in woodworking

The person cutting your parts has spent a career in shops and knows how the wood will behave once it's cut.

How a job runs

  1. Send drawings and a date

    Elevations, DXF or DWG files, or sketches with key dimensions, plus when you need the parts.

  2. Approve the quote

    We confirm material, thickness and quantities, and send a proof of anything we drew for you.

  3. Pick up your parts

    Parts come off the machine cut, cleaned up and labeled, ready for your shop to assemble and paint.

We work in birch and hardwood plywood, MDF and other sheet goods. Files we accept: DXF, DWG, SVG, AI and PDF. Ask about other materials.

Have a show coming up?

Send us what you have, even if it's a rough sketch, and your load-in date. We'll get back to you with a quote and a schedule.
