While standalone hot wire foam cutting equipment can handle basic architectural features, there are limitations to the kinds of products that can be created. Incorporating decorative patterns, intricate details or creative designs -- the kind of qualities that set architecture apart -- is simply not possible. For those looking to go beyond these limitations, a new system that combines a number of technologies into one powerful foam carving solution is answering the bell. Combining hot wire cutting with 3D laser scanning, CNC routing and various finishing capabilities, this integrated foam cutting and carving system represents the next level of innovation in architectural foam and concrete mold production.

Hydrated aluminum oxide is the steady form of aluminum in nature; so, unprotected aluminum exposed to air and water would corrode, forming a broken, powdery, white corrosion product. This growth of natural oxide, if not checked, will proceed as long as unreacted aluminum is exposed.

Tubes present a challenge for cleaning, due to the viscosity of the lubricant used to protect the metal during the bends as well as the variations in shapes, tube diameters and orifice orientation. By using antiquated aqueous dip tanks or fixtured spray impingement systems production will be slowed to a crawl by the inability to clean tubes in a standard aqueous wash process. Solvent cleaning systems are able to solve these problems in a quick and cost effective manner.
