Challenge
As demand for their prefabricated cabins grew, The Bunkie Co faced key operational limitations:
- Long lead times when outsourcing CNC cutting (4–6 weeks per project)
- Limited control over production timelines and logistics
- Reduced flexibility for prototyping and R&D
- Need for a modern, easy-to-use system for a growing team

The Bunkie Co invested in a C2-510ATC CNC machine, customized with a roller hold-down system to support their workflow.
Key reasons for choosing the machine:
- Seamless software integration and nesting capabilities
- User-friendly interface with Masso touchscreen control
- Customization options tailored to their production needs
- Strong value for performance and features
Implementation
The transition to in-house CNC production was fast and effective:
- Machine customized and tested prior to purchase
- Quick onboarding with minimal learning curve
- New operators trained in as little as 2 days
- Immediate integration into both production and R&D workflows
The Result
The impact on The Bunkie Co’s operations was significant:
4–6 weeks to ~2 weeks
Production lead times reduced
Thousands saved
by eliminating outsourcing and logistics costs

even for first-time or younger users
Customer Testimonial
If we were to cut a full bunkie, it would take us 4–6 weeks outsourced. Now we can have that ready in about 2 weeks.
The partnership between CanCam CNC Machines and The Bunkie Co exemplifies how the right tools can empower businesses to achieve their goals.
By bringing CNC production in-house with the C2-510ATC, The Bunkie Co dramatically reduced lead times, lowered costs, and gained full control over their manufacturing process. The result is a faster, more flexible, and more innovative approach to building high-end prefabricated cabins.
