| A state-of-the art
CAD-controlled machine that cuts sheet
and block materials using high-pressure
water to create 2-D shapes. Ideal for
samples and small quantities because
no tooling is required. Can handle 2m
x 3m pieces. |

| Numerically-controlled
cutting machine (bandsaw) with a large
bed (can handle 2m x 3m slabs). This
machine cuts accurate straight lines
into materials up to 500mm thick. Speed
is pre-programmed so you can achieve
accurate, repeatable cuts. |

| Highly accurate horizontal
cutting of sheet materials. These numerically-controlled
machines can make precision cuts –
a sheet of foam can be as thin as 0.5mm
or as thick as 30mm. Large beds handle
2m x 1.5m blanks. |

| Machinery to make 3-D shapes out
of semi rigid and rigid plastic and closed-cell
foam. Shapes are formed by heating and drawing down
the material over specially-tooled moulds. For use
with high-impact polystyrene, polypropylene and
polyethylene. |
