SOLON, OH — September 22, 2025 — Graphco, the exclusive distributor of SD-Italy’s Augusta Hybrid CNC Routing & Cutting Solutions, is proud to announce the successful installation of an SD Augusta F150R Pro at HMR Designs, Chicago’s leading special event design company, with a full roster of production and installation services.

Inside HMR’s 100,000+ square-foot creative studio, the Augusta F150R Pro is transforming event fabrication with its precision CNC routing and cutting capabilities. For over four decades, HMR has earned a national reputation for producing immersive, one-of-a-kind experiences—luxury weddings, high-profile galas, and both private and corporate celebrations—by blending custom fabrication, 3D installations, dramatic lighting, hi-res printing, floral artistry, and custom furniture design. “Aside from the food, we have our hands in basically anything that you can touch or see at the events we design,” says Robert Mertzlufft, Owner of HMR Designs. For a comprehensive overview of their design and installation capabilities, visit https://hmrdesigns.com/capability.

Bringing More Production In-House

Driven by a relentless pursuit of originality, HMR sought to bring more of its fabrication process under one roof. “We were tired of the delays and costs of subcontracting things out,” explains Mertzlufft. “As our sales volume grew, it just made sense to invest in our own system. I thought, ‘How hard is it to run a CNC machine?’ When I saw how simple the SD Augusta machine was to operate at the ISA Expo in Orlando, I said we need to get our own machine.”

Today, the SD Augusta’s CNC technology is central to producing HMR’s signature décor—from bespoke tabletops and bar fronts to dramatic 3D installations. One standout application has been Augusta-cut lattice walls. “But it’s not your typical lattice,” Mertzlufft emphasizes. “These can be custom-built with ovals and circles to form backdrops up to 30 feet long and 20 feet tall. Layered lattice work gives them incredible depth.” This commitment to originality ensures that, as Mertzlufft puts it, “With us, you don’t have to worry about seeing another wedding years later with the same things. Yours will always be special.”

Versatility That Sets the Standard

Among the key reasons HMR selected the SD Augusta F150R Pro was its unmatched versatility. “What attracted us was its ability to cut all the materials we work with—fabrics, vinyls, foam core,” says Mertzlufft. Engineered to handle dense, hard-to-cut substrates up to six inches thick, the SD Augusta F150R Pro tackles a wide variety of jobs on a single platform without operator intervention. “Our art team used to cut gator board by hand. Now the machine does it much more quickly, accurately and efficiently.”

Speed, Precision, and Performance

The SD Augusta F150R Pro isn’t just flexible—it’s fast. Operating at more than 3,700 inches per minute (6.5 feet per second) with nearly 2G acceleration, the SD Augusta F150R Pro maximizes throughput without sacrificing accuracy. For HMR, outperforming subcontractors’ CNC services was a decisive factor, so the automation of having 25 different tools on-board is key. Yet even after installation, the system continues to impress. “At first, it actually seemed slower than the demos—but we quickly realized our operator wasn’t used to how fast this machine can run,” recalls Mertzlufft. “So we just keep learning how much faster you can push it.”

A Partnership in Creativity

Chris Manley, President of Graphco, sees the SD Augusta F150R Pro as a natural fit for HMR’s visionary team. “This system truly expands what’s possible—especially in the hands of the designers and artists at HMR. It’s always inspiring to partner with companies who use technology to push creative boundaries and bring their ideas to life.”

Graphco and Awning Innovations Announce Integration of SD Augusta CNC System with Auto Stud Welding

jesikieler — Fri, 11 Apr 2025 18:41:51 +0000

SOLON, OH — Apr 14, 2025 — Graphco, exclusive distributor of SD-Italy’s cutting-edge Augusta hybrid CNC solutions, proudly announces the successful installation of the SD Augusta F150R Pro Hybrid CNC Routing & Cutting System with Auto Stud Welding (ASW) technology at Awning Innovations, one of the nation’s largest wholesale-only sign manufacturers. Installed in November 2024 at their McCordsville, Indiana facility, just outside Indianapolis, the system is already revolutionizing their operations with enhanced speed, precision, and efficiency.

Founded in 1999, Awning Innovations serves clients nationwide—ranging from local shops to major corporations—by focusing solely on manufacturing. That singular focus allows them to pour resources into elevating product quality, optimizing production, and continually refining both equipment and processes. Their investment in the Augusta F150R Pro is the latest example of that drive toward relentless improvement.

“Our routing department was always a bottleneck—even with seven routers from major brands, we couldn’t keep up,” says Frank Green, President of Awning Innovations. “After seeing the Augusta F150R Pro in action at the ISA Expo, the decision was easy. The speed blew me away—it’s three to four times faster than our other machines. We realized one Augusta could replace at least two of our existing routers.”

But it wasn’t just the speed that sealed the deal. The Augusta F150R Pro’s Auto Stud Welding feature added a whole new layer of value. Learn more about the ASW here: https://graphco.com/augusta-f150r-pro/. Offering low-contact, high-precision stud welding, the ASW automates what was once a painstaking manual process—one that Awning Innovations relies on daily.

“The ASW is a standout feature—we use it all day, every day,” Green explains. “We used to engrave a circle and manually weld each stud using a handheld welder. Now? It’s faster, more accurate, and produces a stronger weld. And because it’s automated, it frees up our operators for higher-value tasks.”

That automation translated directly into labor cost savings. “We had someone full-time on two shifts just welding studs. With the Augusta, we streamlined that department by two people,” Green adds. The 0-tolerance accuracy of the F150R Pro’s 9kW router and ASW means the cut and welded panels all fit the rest of the process perfectly, saving lots of time downstream as well.

Chris Manley, President of Graphco, applauds the partnership: “The SD Augusta delivers the most efficient CNC routing and cutting solutions on the market. The ASW option is a true game-changer. We're thrilled to see Awning Innovations pushing the limits of what’s possible with this system.”

Awning Innovations chose the 15-foot version of the F150R Pro, giving them more flexibility and production capacity. “Our biggest bed before this was 12 feet,” Green notes. “Now we can run full-length 6’ X 15’ aluminum sheets for large sign faces without seams. That’s a major benefit.” The F150R Pro is available in various table sizes, up to 24 feet long.

Beyond aluminum, the Augusta F150R Pro tackles a wide array of materials—including dense, hard-to-cut substrates up to six inches thick. Its robust capabilities make it a cornerstone of Awning Innovations’ very strong future.

Gary Greis, Regional Vice President of Sales at Graphco, sums it up: “This installation is a perfect example of how the right technology fuels real business growth. Awning Innovations is committed to quality and process improvement, and this investment proves it.”

Frank Green closes with a sentiment every equipment buyer can relate to: “The F150R Pro lives up to the hype—it does exactly what Graphco said it would. That says a lot. I’ve bought machines before that couldn’t back up the sales pitch. But this one? It delivers. I’m a fan. We’ll definitely be buying another.”

Speed is another advantage of the Augusta F150R Pro. The machine rips through cuts at over 6.5 feet per second with nearly 2G acceleration while maintaining pinpoint accuracy. Its robust design tackles a variety of materials, slicing through dense substrates up to six inches thick. This opens the door to unconventional applications. “We love reimagining materials,” Sweeny says. “Nobody expects high-density foam to be an art medium. But with the F150R, we carved foam into a detailed piece, painted and framed it, and now it’s high-quality dimensional artwork—produced affordably and at scale.”

Chris Manley, President of Graphco, sees LS Art Consulting as the perfect partner to showcase the Augusta F150R Pro’s full potential. “They have an incredible creative approach,” Manley says. “The F150R Pro is a powerhouse of possibilities, and we’re thrilled to see LS Art Consulting take it to the next level.”

Sweeny agrees. “It’s rare to find a machine like this—it’s a diamond in the rough. But success isn’t just about the equipment. It’s about perspective, commitment, and investing in the people and resources to make it work. Our experience with Graphco has been outstanding, and our Team love their new Augusta.”

Sign Ink Invests in Hybrid CNC Routing & Cutting Solution from SD-Italy

jesikieler — Fri, 15 Mar 2024 18:50:05 +0000

SOLON, OH – March 13, 2024 – Graphco, a leading graphic-arts equipment dealer/distributor in the United States, in two months will install an Augusta F150R Pro automatic cutting plotter at Sign Ink, LLC near Richmond, VA. Manufactured in Europe by SD-Italy, the wide-format, digital finishing/routing machine is set to be delivered after it is demonstrated on the tradeshow floor at ISA International Sign Expo 2024 in Orlando, FL (April 10-12).

The company plans to use the F150R Pro computer numerical control (CNC) model to handle higher volumes and larger/thicker pieces (up to 6-inch widths) of material for the acrylic, NPF (non-paper-faced foam), aluminum, wood, plastic, vinyl and combo-PVC signs manufactured in its eight-bay, 14,000-square-foot facility. Sign Ink typically runs 1.5 shifts, according to president/CEO Tom Matherly, and employs between 15 and 20 people full-time.

“Sign Ink focuses on solving our customers’ problems, and we are excited to experience, firsthand, the finishing enhancements that the Augusta will bring,” notes Matherly, who founded the firm 28 years ago. For the hands-on owner, the need for speed -- 6.5 square feet per second with 2G acceleration powered by an ElectroSpindle drive sized up to 13 kW -- is not the most impressive feature of the machine. “From its multiple zones and varying table sizes to dual vacuum pumps, this industrial-grade routing device is ideally suited for the signage market and will make us more competitive on a variety of projects,” he believes.

Matherly first saw the Augusta F150R Pro in action last fall at PRINTING United in Atlanta. (The 2024 edition of the show comes to Las Vegas in September.) “I knew the vision and was blown away when I saw what they [SD-Italy] had done,” he says. The speedy, automated tool change-out (up to 25 positions!) is one technological feature that captured the attention of Matherly, who also is awed by the sheer variety of tools available. “To efficiently provide fine finishing in so many different shapes, like we do, requires the proper tools,” notes Matherly, who sees potential for growth.

Hold it down!

Another enviable product feature, he says, is the router’s extensive hold-down capabilities for media of virtually all sizes. “It accommodates the different types of substrates we are called to produce on -- everything from small-board NPF to matte sheets,” he points out. “Some [other] CNC machines may have powerful motors, but they do you no good if the material clamping component is weak.” Many basic designs are functionally limited by a single zone and one, lone pump, he adds.

Matherly views the new equipment addition as a complement to the trio of Zünd multipurpose cutters that his team uses on a daily basis. “We’ve been ‘making do’ with those for 10 years but routing is an add-on,” he shares. “They’re cutting tables that try to be routers.”

While Sign Ink will use the Augusta F150R Pro primarily as a heavy-duty router, the device is modular with additional capabilities, as Graphco’s Gustavo Teixo points out: “The machine also has a die-cutting module that can perform reciprocating sawing and knife-cutting,” Teixo explains. “In addition, it has rotary tools that can cut corrugated materials.”

Sign Ink’s owner reports that he hasn’t seen anything like the F150R Pro, “and I’ve been looking!” Matherly adds. “It’s like the manufacturer looked at all the feature sets available out there in the market and asked, ‘Okay, what’s missing?’ They blew it up and maxed it out with all the bells and whistles we now see on this machine.” Sign Ink expects the productivity and durability of its new automatic cutting plotter to begin opening up new markets in the second half of 2024 so that it can increase annual sales, which were nearly $5 million last year.
