CNC Foam Model Capabilites in Vancouver BC area. 1

[overkill4]

Hi All,

I'm looking for a CNC machine capable of making a 14' boat model out of High Density Foam.

Anybody know of any manufacturers or shops that could handle this job?

Thanks

Check with AXYZ automation, they are a Canadian company that makes cnc routers. They can sell you one, or point you to one of their customers, who can do the job for you.

Try

They do exactly what you ask for and are in the state of Washington.

How high does it need to go? We would be able to do this on one of our 5x10 machines with a 3' Z axis. Are you trying to make it out of a single block?

You can waste a lot of time and money looking for a machine that big.

Last time I had to make a sizeable foam model (about 200 cm x 50 cm), I modelled it in sections, complete with matching dowel pin holes for each section. Once joined, glued, filled, and painted, it looked fine.

Like I said I don't have access to the model as of yet, so the only dimension I'm positive about is the Max length of 14'

Thanks for the links!

Based on that, composite pros suggestion of

http://www.janicki.com.

sounds like your best bet, they can do your model in one piece. whenever you get it sent to you.

I would say you could to a company called Bayview Edison in the Burlington WA area. They have a machine that will
cut 100'long parts and are familiar with foam machining.
