3000 Automated Foam Shaper
3000 with 24″ Diameter Column Base
The 3000 Automated Foam Shaper cuts column caps and bases, standard arches, and it is truly a unique machine because of its abilities to also carve irregular curves. Planters, bowls and ‘S’-shaped curves can be made on this machine. The Automated Foam Shaper is a high output production machine. Foam shaping in 3-D has never been easier, or more complete.
The shaper is a terrific machine, I love that thing! We use it everyday for arches, bases, caps, circles, bowls, and all kinds of stuff.

Column Cap and Base High Output Technique
Start with a square foam core (cut out of cap/base where structural beam would be).
Position each half on the square core and run through the hot wire. As the first one is going through the wire, place another half behind it ready to complete the cycle, and repeat this process to achieve the maximum productivity.
Finished cut caps and bases are ready for the next step.
