Carving Foam

Styrofoam is quite a good material for carving with. it can be carved using a hot wire or heated tool, sanded to shape, cut to shape with a band saw or cut with a knife.

This skull was cut out of a styrofoam block, coated in jesmonite, then painted with a pigmented acrylic resin.  The skull was used for an exterior shop sign The 3D Skull was made from styrofoam, it was 600mm high, 100mm thick, coated with a  pigmented acrylic resin, with red matt eyes and  white painted face . The skull was lightweight because it was made of styrofoam It was coated in casting resin to make it stronger. Care must be taken when handling. Once in position on the shop sign it will last for years.

Polystyrene works well as a material for carving and shaping.

These letters are designed for display purposes for interior use in exhibitions and shop displays, fixed onto vertical surfaces or for standing on shelf’s.

We have also supplied these letters for outside use on shop front signs because the paint and sandstone resin binders that we used are primarily designed for the construction industry.

How to Send Us vector Artwork?

To set up artwork for cutting on our polystyrene cutting machines we require vector artwork. Artwork needs to be saved as an eps file with all fonts converted to curves.

If the artwork is in the form of a jpeg we will need to digitize the logo to make a vector artwork of it before we can cut it.

We use Corel Draw to make our vector artwork, there is also free software available on the internet that can be used for producing vector artwork such as Inkscape.
