4-axis milling router

Creates ultra-defined sculptures.

The 4-axis CNC milling machine offers extraordinary versatility, allowing for both flat and combined operations with the horizontal lathe. Thanks to the rotation of the lathe and simultaneous movement across 4 axes, it is possible to perform 360° machining, ensuring precision and flawless detail even in the most complex shapes.

The automatic system developed by Nettuno allows for the milling router to be automatically integrated onto the wire machine, with simple and intuitive controls managed through the dedicated software.

Thanks to this solution, the operator can rough-cut the material using the hot wire turning process and finish the final details with the precision of the CNC milling machine. This combination optimizes machining times, offering a significant advantage in the precise creation of complex 3D shapes.

Roughing. Milling.

New accessory

Tangent carver.

We have developed a new attachment that takes polystyrene processing to the next level. The Excavator with Tangent is designed to be mounted directly on the Mammut cnc machine axis, enabling internal excavation operations that transform the way this versatile material is processed.

Unlike our previous excavator, which required the use of a lathe to obtain the desired templates, the new model allows for internal carving with precision and without additional steps.

Hot wire is perfectly adapted to the needs of cutting, shaping extruded and expanded polystyrene to create 3D shapes of great aesthetic and functional impact.

Thanks to the tangent configuration, a range of possibilities opens up: from artistic and decorative applications, where the contrast between smooth outer surfaces and complex interiors creates striking visual effects, to industrial solutions that require prototyping with sophisticated geometries.
