Milling and machining of foam and polystyrene foam on cnc machines. 3d models

In this article we will tell you all about milling foam, how and in what cases it is performed, what features exist when working with these materials, how they differ. And buy ready-made models or order the development of models for the manufacture of products from foam and polystyrene foam - you can on our website.

Milling foam plastic, is it possible? Features:

Milling of foam plastic - not only possible, but also extremely in demand. After all, today a lot of products are made of this composite inexpensive and lightweight material, so accessible to the vast majority of people. In addition, Styrofoam is not very hard, so it can be cut and processed well.

Of course, CNC machines are multi-profile and universal, they allow you to create three-dimensional products and carved decor on almost any material, but for cutting foam plastic most often used special machines or additional equipment. In general, the design of milling machines and machines for foam plastic - not much different, but instead of a cutter in the second uses tungsten, titanium or nichrome thread or string, which allows you to provide a more accurate and precise processing.  

The movement of the cutting tool in this case, as well as when working on other CNC machines is regulated by program control. This means that 3D models of the future product remain a priority.

Nevertheless, three-axis CNC milling machines remain in priority for creation of three-dimensional products. Such machines allow you to create almost any product quickly, accurately and inexpensively. It is important only that the cutting tool was very well sharpened, in this case it will be able to perform cuts evenly and qualitatively.

Most often when working with Styrofoam are used end single-entry cutters (because two-entry in this case is less suitable because of the risk of damage to one of the teeth, which can worsen the processing, create irregularities and possibly even spoil the material).

What is made on CNC machines from foam?

Most often on CNC machines from foam plastic create the following products:

• Dimensional letters and logos,
• Signs,
• Graphics,
• Inscriptions for outdoor advertising or internal advertising structures,
• Props for stores, decoration for store windows and exhibition stands,
• Decor elements, decorations,
• Moulages,
• Columns and their elements,
• Dense Styrofoam is used to create a variety of sculptural elements, ceiling cornices and many other products.

Styrofoam: features of material and processing

Styrofoam is a kind of foam plastic. It is more durable. It also differs in its thermal insulation properties compared to conventional foam. It has a long service life, low weight. It is not subject to mold and is resistant to moisture. Does not deteriorate in contact with construction mixtures and cleaning agents.

Polystyrene foam is perfectly cut and does not crumble during processing.

On CNC machines it is used to make: packaging, thermal containers, decorative elements, bas-reliefs, advertising products. And so on.
