With PanelMax advanced panelfabrication technology drywall assemblies can be pre-assembled and ready to install when needed. Parts can be fabricated and duplicated off site and then delivered and installed on the job site just in time. Quick, easy, and just in time.
Revolutionary
PanelMax is a revolutionary system that makes creating intricate shapes and assemblies from drywall much more affordable. Projects that require a lot of manual cutting or that have complex curves have always been cumbersome and time-consuming for builders. Now even the most challenging assemblies can be completed more efficiently with less finishing, less labor and fewer materials.
Portable
PanelMax is a portable board milling machine designed for milling many building materials from gypsum to cement board up to 54 X 120 inch sizes. PanelMax is easy to operate with automatic machine head controls, dust free milling and fast prime and glue-up fabrication.
Cost Effective
PanelMax is clean, fast, and cost-effective especially in drywall construction.
Perfect Corners
PanelMax mills a perfect corner, using gypsum, wood, and plastic or even cement board. Precision engineered groves allow material to be fabricated into rigid and precisely aligned assemblies. PanelMax milled corners, especially drywall, are clean and precise minimizing the need for additional finishing materials, saving time, labor and material costs.
Simple
PanelMax is easy to operate with electric machine head controls, dust free milling and fast prime and glue-up fabrication. Now even the most challenging assembly can be produced and installed in minutes in one piece, no bead, no finishing, no call backs.
Dimensions
Create intricate shapes and structures with PanelMax from drywall much more affordably. Projects that require a lot of manual cutting or that have complex curves have always been cumbersome and time-consuming for builders. Now even the most challenging details can be completed much more cost effectively, requiring much less finishing time and materials.

PanelMax Turns Drywall Into An Art form
Decorative Details
With PanelMax, decorative details, such as ceiling moldings, can be fabricated using just drywall. Fabricated details can be installed as components, are much lighter weight that traditional material and require much less finishing.
90° Corners
Inside and outside 90 degree corners don’t require taping and require very little finishing with the PanelMax fabrication system. Outside 90 degree corners can also be reinforced with a steel spline for more protection in high-traffic areas.
Ceiling Details
Ceiling details, like stepped soffits, are relatively easy to create with PanelMax and require very little finishing on inside and outside corners.
Curves
Drywall can be made to form to almost any curve with PanelMax; including rounded columns and other contours. Very little finishing is required.
Columns
Drywall can be fabricated into columns to cover pipes, support columns or for decoration. PanelMax columns can be rounded, fluted, hexagon or other typical shapes. You are only limited by your imagination.
Details
Drywall can be used to create details like wainscoting coating. Drywall can be routed and folded together to form perfect edges and require very little finishing.
Recessed Box
Recessed box details are easy to fabricate with PanelMax and require very little finishing. Fire boxes and other recessed boxes typically require quite a bit of taping and finishing. Inside corners are perfect and straight every time.
HYBRID
The new Hybrid CNC machine’s foundation is the job-proven PanelMax ST48. Hybrid’s new traveler includes a large touch-panel
interface and intuitive software making it easy to create and produce CNC designs for drywall without having to do any CNC programming. No special programming skills are needed to operate PanelMax Hybrid. Hybrid’s software includes built-in presets including circles and different standard cut out and workflow shapes.
