Hello,

I'm looking to mill some foam parts!

one of my current interest is automated flight with surveillance, which is what brings me here. I'm looking to mill some plugs for aircraft and maybe this interests a member who could benefit from my services. I'm currently looking for projects to build my portfolio.

Check out the video using only 2lb density foam...I get a good finish and smooth to the touch.

youtube video

I have epoxy tooling paste as well, which is similar to bondo. Leaves a really good finish, but dulls the bit and is excessively dusty and stinky. I can supply plugs/prototypes unfinished as in the video, or they can be finished in a coating of your choice.

I have experience with building prepreg carbon fiber parts for an OEM auto supplier, and hope to be producing parts in the next few months. I have a 3D scanner handy. Maybe you have something in mind, don't hesitate to bounce ideas off of me. Scale models? Sure. My cutting envelope is 80"x60"x20". My business address is located in Raleigh, NC. You're more than welcome to stop by



thanks for reading


Ron

Are you referring to pink XPS or insulation foam?  If so, yes.  It melts at the speed that I mill...I max my machine at about 120 in per min for the 2lb EPS.  Why do you ask?

I'm sure that I could mill it just fine if that's what someone requires.  Yes, I have an idea...nothing that hasn't been done before.
