This is my artigianal foam cutter cnc for sale, area of cut 300x50x15cm ... only 350 euro!
You can use any graphic program like inkscape ... after this , save as png or jpg and with program from www.costycnc.it transform in gcode quickly ... after use a simple program like gcodesender from chrome chrome.google.com/webstore/de... to send to macchine ...
Here two programs create by me with can begin if not have knowledge about any graphic program www.costycnc.it/svg10 and www.costycnc.it/stroke1 .
Only click the link and program is ready to use because is online. If you want use program offline, save the page.In the page have also a video tutorials with how use these programs.
Visit the lastest videos in my channel / @bobyca2003 and remember to leave a like and a comment ... will rispond as quickly is possible!
Sorry for my language ... i speak italian and my english is not very good. Also if i not can impressioned with my language , i hope that can impresionate with my artigianal machine unique in world as design and concept.
Bellow ... general description about this type of machine ... taken from internet!
HOT WIRE CNC FOAM CUTTERS
Using modern technology, Hot wire CNC foam cutters allow creating practically any product of the most complicated shape in a fast, accurate and relatively inexpensive way. Hot wire CNC foam cutting machines is used to create display letters, logos (3D Logos), raphics, signboards, labels for indoor and outdoor ads, decor elements, fair stalls, store props & displays, P.O.P. displays, decorations for the theater or cinema, mock-up products, all kinds of packaging, amusement, architectural shapes, large-scale architecture models, thematic props, pipe insulation, preCast concrete molds, columns, etc.
SOME OF THE MORE COMMON APPLICATIONS:
LETTERING AND 3D SHAPES - 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!
FAIR, THEATRE AND FILM DECORATIONS - There is no machines as useful as a Hot wire CNC foam cutters 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.
COMPUTER NUMERICAL CONTROL
The CNC foam cutter is a machine controlled by a PC computer capable of cutting any 3D objects out of extruded and expanded polystyrene foams (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 and controlled with our unique 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 thickness of the material. There is also the option of designing and cutting a few different outlines of the same project which results in very attractive 3D shapes.
CUTTING WIRE
The NiChrome cutting wire reaches the temperature of a few hundred Celcius degrees during cutting. Depepnding on the width of the foam cutter (i.e. length of the cutting wire) we use NiCr wires of the following diameters: 0.20.
WHAT IS POLYSTYRENE?
There are two types of foam best suited for processing with the Hot wire CNC foam cutters:
Expanded polystyrene (EPS) is perhaps the most common in everyday life: this white foam can be seen in cups for hot beverages, refrigerators, insulation, packaging, etc. The foam plastic consists of 98% air and 2% polystyrene. Polystyrene beads are heated with steam in such a way that they are rapidly expanding (foaming) and forming a low-density block (in a special form). This material is inexpensive and light - usually weighing 15-30 kg per cubic meter. Expanded polystyrene does not lose its fundamental properties with time and can be completely recycled and reused.
Extruded polystyrene (XPS) has the same chemical composition as the expanded polystyrene, but is made by a different technology; as a result, the produced foam has smaller air pockets and is more uniform. It often comes in pink, blue, green, etc. Extruded polystyrene is ideal for manufacturing demonstration panels.
Why Styrofoam?
There are several reasons why the abovementioned materials are so widely used. Typically, Styrofoam means:
Low price;
Low weight;
Ideal for outdoor works, and, as in the case of EPS material, indoor works;
Possibility to apply different coating (water-based paints, cement coatings, metal coatings, etc.);
Long-term use: if the coating is applied properly, it can last for decades.
