Arcimoto use such routers to make aluminum forms for the sheets to be thermoformed over.





You can see a pallet of sheets in lower left. Upper left you have a yellow robot arm which will eventually take the formed sheet output and place it on a new machine to the left where it will be trimmed and holed with a CNC router. That station uses a less expensive form as it only holds position.
