As you may remember, I was on a bit of a quest for a better way to cut foam pieces. Cutting Foam core is NOT that hard manually, but I really want to get the process more automated.
I was surfing the DIYDrones.Org blog and saw a link to this:
http://www.phlatboyz.com/
It's a Do-It-Yourself Computer Cutter that can cut foarm (or slightly harder) material up to 1 3/4" thick! It's primarily designed for prototyping models, RC aircraft and molding templates for casting. The good thing for me is, I'm into all that.
PLUS, I just wonder if the cuts are smooth enough for TLX tiles? Now the problem is this: All together it's over $1000 bucks (which is REALLY cheap for a CNC machine, but expensive to make tiles for RPGs.
)
I was wondering if anyone had heard of this, seen it or had opinions on if it would work for our needs here. The Gallery pictures seem to show some pretty fine and smooth details (relief images of people's faces for example) so I'm encouraged!
I am not planning on doing this right away, but I thought it was worth passing along in our quest to conquer Foamcore!
