🫧Foam Sculpting
The material properties of high-density extruded polystyrene foam (aka blue foam) make it ideal for efficiently massing and sculpting model components. Blue foam is:
Sandable
High compressive strength
Rigid
The material can be shaped using hand tools.
Hot wire cutters, paired with templates, can also be used to efficiently cut complex 3D forms.
Refer to Foam Sculpting under Techniques for more resources relating to the process, as well as coating and finishing models.
Hot Wire Foam Cutters
A resistive wire is heated to the melting point of blue foam. The foam must be fed at the rate at which it melts. A template is needed to produce smooth, accurate cuts.
