Intelicam 4-axis Foam Carving Router

Intelicam has begun construction on a new 4-axis high speed foam cutting CNC Router. The router has a 5’x10’ process area, 52 inches of Z-axis motion and an integrated rotational axis that can clamp a foam block four feet in diameter by almost 7 feet long. The all ball screw and servo drive unit can traverse at 2,360 ipm. It comes standard with a 6 position tool changer, spindle with inverter, special designed foam cutting router bits, automated tool height sensor, chip pickup with hose support and vacuum. Rails and ball screws are sealed and protected with baffles protecting against foam particles which will harden over time causing maintenance issues. Intelicam is offering this system for US$59,000.

Not sure why you would need a CNC router to carve only foam?

Think of theme parks, zoos and museum exhibits and you have a good idea of what theming is, but you’d be surprised to know that theme parks and the like are a small percentage of work done in the theming industry. From the decoration of Irish pubs, movie theatres, displays at the local 7-eleven, hotels, casinos, architectural landmarks, and increasingly its showing up in the family home as crown molding, mantles, door arches, fountains, ponds and more. Theming is everywhere. And what looks like solid granite pillars, sculpted wood cornices, marble arches, moss covered rocks to name but a few, are at heart foam. Literally foam; then covered in a wide range of spays, coatings, textures to replicate finishes and objects that are pleasing to the eye. The new Intelicam Foam Carving CNC machine with our bundled design and toolpath software can transform digital designs into tangible objects. It is a tool you won’t want to be without. This is a tremendous growth industry. We believe theming is only scratching the surface of its potential to beautify our surroundings! Now is the time to acquire the best tools at the best prices.
