DIY EPP Moulding
Posted: Mon Jan 10, 2011 11:16 am
Hi everyone,
I am quite new to RC but I am interested in the possibility of this. By trade I am a 3D CAD Designer rather than a machinist so I look for ways to automate tasks I know nothing about. One of the things I would like to build is a 3 axis CNC router. This router could most likely (I am not sure of why not) be used to create moulds out of wood.
From my really brief research I found that EPP (Expanded Polypropylene) is simple to mould (relative to what, I don't know ). Does anyone know if it is simple to use and mould and if it is both available to private users and affordable?
Thanks,
Kamu
