Materials & Dimensions:
Strip Bending:
Material sheet size – 50mm across Approximately
Maximum material thickness – 10mm Approximately
Materials suitable for strip bending:
- Acrylic (Thermoplastic)
- Polycarbonate (Thermoplastic)
- Plexiglass (Thermoplastic)
- ABS (Thermoplastic)
- Polypropylene (Thermoplastic)
Cutting & Sculpting:
Material sheet sizes – 400mm x 200mm – this is the recommended maximum size as it allows for you to move your material around on the machine surface
Maximum material thickness – 190mm – this will change given you angle if you choose to utilise this part of the hot wire cutter
Materials suitable for hot wire cutting & sculpting:
- Polystyrene foam
- Polyethylene foam
Health & Safety:
With some materials like Polystyrene foam and Polyethene foam, it does release fumes with toxins in. To prevent inhalation of these fumes you are required to wear a protective mask with filter.
