Not your father's CNC machine. Roland DG's 3D products are not an easy sell. First of all, there's so much buzz about 3D printing technology, that there's little discussion room left for the older CNC technology.

There are still lots of instances in which a computer monitor, smart phone, or iPad won’t get the job done.

In preparation for Label Expo, we wanted to show off some great samples of work that we can do on our machines – so first, we needed to design a bunch of Roland DG branded or fake product labels, find stuff to stick them on and go to town. Here’s a sample of some of our “fake” products!

It seems like issues come up at the worst possible time – like during the biggest job of the year or late at night. Who are you gonna call? My Dealer has gone home, Roland DGA's Technical Support Department isn't available and I’m pretty sure the Ghost Busters have retired. Roland DGA’s new support page to the rescue!
