Foam Machining for Low Volume Production and Large Format Prototyping

When your project requires large format machined part(s) we can help. Criteria Systems has access to a first-class, in-house machining facility designed to meet customers manufacturing needs. Criteria Systems CNC capabilities include EPS Foam hot wire cutting, 3-Axis CNC routers, rotational milling capability up to 8' diameter and more. With these systems, foam prototyping offers a great method for bringing your projects to life. Criteria Systems uses Streamline Automation's FROG3D^TM system for foam prototyping. Integration of our 3D scanning capability and 3D CAD/CAM software means that virtually anything can be produced.

Our rapid prototyping output is great for producing smaller-scale products and scale models-while foam prototyping can be used to create incredibly large models and products.

Other uses of our CNC foam prototyping system are:

• Foam Prototyping
• Props
• Signage
• Enlargement
• Point of Sale / Tradeshow Displays
• Architectural Elements
• Bronze/Metal Casting Plugs
• Packaging
• Molds for Concrete / Vacuum forming and other materials

Through our industry partners we can also coordinate polyurethane or polyurea hardcoat, painted finishing and more. Our technology is best suited for Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) machining, but we can also complete prototypes in urethane foams, polyisocyanurate foams, wood, plastics and other materials.
