Monumental Foam

About how izvra rare minds of genius use foam, on Habré wrote more than once. You can read about sculptures from packs of PCs or houses of reinforced foam .

Recently accidentally found out about one option. In one mall, met with friends, talked. When asked what he might like with the new ones, he pointed to the nearest shop window - there are ordinary three-dimensional letters made of hard plastic. On closer inspection, this turned out to be well-treated foam.

Technology


My friend gathered this machine:


It connects to the computer and allows you to cut out any shape (hot string) from the foam plate.

Experiment


We are opening a shop selling self-luminous fillers, and I thought that the letters like the ones I saw in the mall are very suitable for the design of the outlet.

We created a mock-up on the computer, cut out the letters, after which I painted them with acrylic varnish (so as not to tear the foam) with the phosphor.

The experiment turned out to be interesting - from a distance the letters seem monumental (as, indeed, the houses from the article).

Photos made soap box in the dark shoots bad:




One crooch is cut in about 5-6 minutes. All letters cost me about 2,500 rubles. They were cut and treated with sandpaper to prepare for the application of primer and varnish.

It seems to be nonsense, but ...


It was thought that in addition to such work "on cigarettes" this machine can be used for small-scale production of packaging for products.

As far as I know, the cost of just setting up equipment for the mass production of packaging for mass production is simply insane. And in this case, the cost of the error is high.

And such a small mobile production can significantly reduce the risks and get a result at an acceptable cost.
