| In a picture below you
can see a model TWISTER 484, while cutting an inscription (logo) in a
block of a Styrofoam. The trolleys with a resistant wire spread between,
move freely in X and Y axis according to a drawing that has been
generated for ex. in a Corel. The third dimension corresponds exactly to
a thickness of a material that is being treated. This cutting method is
available in all the machines that are included in our foam cutters
offer. |

 |
| All the TWISTER series
models are, in a standard, equipped with a lathe tool that allows
cutting of all possible solids of revolution, such as columns, banisters
etc. The material that is intended for treatment is mounted on a steel
spikes (spikes are located on a spike plate and on a lathe tail-stock).
A Corel Draw software is sufficient for creating a solid of revolution
project as the solid is defined with two lines only: axis of rotation
and external shape. Depending on what is required, the number of solid
sides is determined in a controlling software FoamShaper (ranging from 1
up to 2000). Thus, depending on a number of sides that was declared in a
software one can obtain for ex. four-sided column or six-sided column
etc. If the number of sides is big enough one can obtain a perfectly
smooth surface. While cutting a solid sides a lathe is also able to
perform a rotational movement - it results in a spiral cutting line. |

| In all TWISTER series
models there is a possibility of replacing a straight resistant wire
with a shapeable wire tool. With a properly shaped bent wire that is
mounted in a shapeable wire tool and with a use of a lathe rotational
movement you can do the incisions of any given shape in the previously
prepared Styrofoam blocks. You can also make a longitudinal incisions
(chiseling) taking advantage of the trolleys movement in X and Y axis. |

 |
| You can perform the same
action with a use of a turntable C 70 (standard equipment of all TWISTER
series models) |
|
 |
| With a use of a turntable
and a straight resistant wire you can also cut a sphere and all similar
shapes. |
|
 |
| FoamShaper software
(standard in all foam cutter models) allows automatic serial cutting of
multi-farious objects/solids. The drawings (side views) can be created
in a Corel. You may use a pictures form a digital camera (converted as
HPGL.plt files) for drawing preparation. This method (although
time-consuming) gives a perfect opportunities of creating almost any 3D
object. |
