Thermomechanical Hot Tool Cutting and Surface Quality in Robotic Foam Sculpting

For several years, research work has been carried out at the University of Canterbury aimed at the development of a rapid prototyping and manufacturing process referred to as Robotic Foam Sculpting (RFS). This system uses a six-axis industrial robot and electrically-heated hot-wire and hot-blade too...
