Carver

Create grooves and engravings.

The carver is an accessory for the Plot 250 CNC machine, designed to create cavities and customized shapes in blocks of polystyrene (EPS, XPS) using a manually shapeable wire. This accessory allows precise material processing, creating unique shapes directly inside pre-shaped blocks or on fully customized geometries.

The manual movement of the rigid wire, which can be easily shaped to specific needs, enables the execution of fine details and complex engravings. The carver is a versatile solution for tasks requiring high flexibility and precision in 3D shapes.

When combined with the Nettuno Software, optimal results can be achieved with precise wire management to achieve the desired depth and detail. The control of wire speed and position minimizes vibrations and inaccuracies, ensuring uniform and detailed processing across the material’s entire surface.

The carver is ideal for applications requiring the creation of irregular shapes, such as sculptures, characters, or complex cavities, which cannot be easily achieved using traditional machining methods.

Combine with:

Vertical turntable

Used for 360° cutting of 3D shapes in polystyrene, whether they are symmetric or asymmetric, irregular, spheres, columns, characters, and figures.

tornio verticale polistirolo

Vertical turntable

Cut polystyrene at 360°.

The vertical turntable is an accessory for the Plot 250 CNC machine, designed to work with expanded polystyrene (EPS, XPS) blocks positioned vertically, allowing 360° processing across the entire surface of the material. This configuration enables the creation of turning and complex 3D shapes, ideal for applications requiring high precision and detailed work.

The movement system of the vertical turntable is controlled by the Nettuno Software, allowing for extremely precise adjustments of the rotation speed and material processing, ensuring uniform results without defects. The turntable is equipped with a robust support to maintain block stability during processing, minimizing vibrations and inaccuracies.

The machine operates in a fully automatic mode, with continuous adjustment of position and speed, enabling turning operations for both symmetrical and asymmetrical shapes. It is compatible with different configurations and can be easily integrated into the CNC workflow, optimizing production times and increasing operational efficiency.

With the vertical turntable, you can achieve precise processing on a wide range of geometries and sizes, including cylinders, spheres, columns, and complex 3D shapes, all while maintaining high-quality final results.
