Hot wire CNC machines can be used for a wide range of cutting applications. They can cut virtually any shape from polystyrene EPS/XPS and similar foam materials.
Using modern technology, hot wire CNC machines make it possible to create virtually any product, including the most complex shapes, quickly, accurately, and cost-effectively. These machines are ideal for producing display letters, 3D logos, graphics, signboards, labels for indoor and outdoor advertising, decorative elements, exhibition stands, store props and displays, P.O.P. displays, theater or cinema decorations, mock-up products, various types of packaging, amusement items, architectural models, thematic props, pipe insulation, precast concrete molds, columns, and more.
Figures and shapes made from polystyrene are not subject to significant thermal expansion, meaning they will not crack in moderate cold or deform under moderate heat.
COMMON APPLICATIONS
Lettering, logos, labels
How many times have you faced the problem of making complicated 3D logotypes? And all the already known methods seemed to be unsuitable or too expensive? Hot wire foam CNC cutter will do almost everything – Your imagination is its only limit!
Architectural elements
Styrofoam architecture details (moulds, finials, banisters, keystones, parapet caps, balusters) covered with strengthening nets and stuccoes are becoming very popular, due to their light weight, easy assembly, precision of realization and price.
External wall insulation
A CNC foam cutting machine at the construction site? Well, yes, as this is the best way for preparing external wall insulation on site, resulting in labor time savings and highest quality thermal insulation.
Fair, theatre and film decorations
There is no cutters as useful as a Hot wire CNC machines when building fair stalls and film or theatre decorations. Its speed and cutting precision allow creating every set and stage design in short time and without spending a lot of money.
Cutting wings and parts for drones
How to cut a wing for a drone? Or cut precise fuselage components? Modern drones demand maximum accuracy and lightness of every single part. That’s why our T-Series PRO! machines are used for manufacturing drone and UAV components, enabling high-precision cutting of fixed-wing drone wings, as well as the production of fuselages and complex structural parts.
When cutting asymmetric wings or complex parts, a special accessory Independent Axis Control — is available. It unlocks new possibilities for creating aerodynamically advanced shapes and unique solutions for drones.
Why choose the T-Series PRO?
Precision! Perfect part symmetry for stable and predictable performance.
Productivity! Suitable for series production of elements with identical parameters.
Perfect cutting! Clean, accurate cuts with a smooth surface and no additional finishing required.
CNC
Computer Numerical Control
The hot wire CNC foam cutter is a machine controlled by a PC computer, capable of cutting any different shapes/objects out of polystyrene foam (EPS and XPS). The cutting is performed with a hot cutting wire moving in the vertical and horizontal axes through the use of stepper motors controlled by an electronic controller connected to a PC via USB and operated with our control software. This ensures flawless precision, high processing speed, and consistently excellent quality.
The precise mechanisms and perfect electronic control of motors movement enable the operator to cut any shape, as long as its thickness corresponds with the material thickness. There is also the option of designing and cutting a few different outlines of the same project, resulting in very attractive 3D shapes. The TurnTable makes it possible to cut, e.g., spheres, the Lathe is indispensable for column cutting, and further possibilities come with the ShapeWire Tool.
