The company hopes to expand its range of services with the machine, to include display material, signage and 3D milling.

MicroGraphics will install the machine in March, although the Conwy-based company has already had one enquiry for a substantial job.

The machine will enable the team of eight to carry out cutting work in-house rather than sending it out.

Managing director Mike Ormond said the company plans to attract new sectors, particularly in timber and aluminium, and capitalise on current services.

He said: "We are very different to other large-format businesses. Three-quarters of our work comes from a 60-mile radius, so we have to be flexible to do some weird and wonderful things for short-run point-of-sale. The new machine enables us to do that."

He said the cutting table is expected to increase the company’s existing turnover of £450,000.
