CNC hot wire foam cutter
What is it?
This is a computer-controlled hot wire foamcutter. You can do a bunch of cool things with it. It really is cool because it is easy to use and doesn't require maintenance at all.
The titanium cutting wire heats up and it cuts, or to be exact: melts the polystyrene. You can basically prepare your plans in any vectorgrafical software and the machine will process that with its own software. That's it, job done.
Manufacturing is also a piece of cake.
You can produce attractive illuminated signs with the sole use of plain polystyrene Or simple, painted letter for indoors or outdoors Wedding? Not a problem.
You don't need a lot of space for this, just put it in the corner and you are good to go. The clamp can be adjusted so that most XPS and EPS boards on the market can be used.
Why polystyrene?
Cheap
Light weight
Safe and "green"
Non toxic
Easy to work with
Software
With the intuitive OBELISK Foamcutting Software you can easily create simple designs and artwork. Or you can import your designs from your favourite software e.g. Adobe Illustrator or Corel Draw or other vector-based software.
Combine objects in a single-lined project which is then ready to be cut on the plotter. By using the ‘Auto’ button the software generates all the necessary lines and paths making foamplotting as easy as printing.
For touchscreens the special workspace has larger buttons.
Custom machine
It's possible to manufacture the Obelisk foam plotter in custom sizes based on your specifications. The OBELIXXL comes with an enlarged working area of maximum 3000x1250x1250mm.
