we have all types of milling things... but for models we do everything on a smaller scale...the one i use (if i ever need it) uses a wax type material and cuts it out... biggest it can do is like 1ft by 1ft block.
they just got a new machine in another building though, does high density foam..not sure how big it can go.
i got a cnc machine if you want to use it

A CNC is what I will be using. Right now Im trying to get the G-code (code that tells that CNC how to cut the foam) ready so that when I get the green light to use it, everything is ready to go.justanotheradikt said:we have all types of milling things... but for models we do everything on a smaller scale...the one i use (if i ever need it) uses a wax type material and cuts it out... biggest it can do is like 1ft by 1ft block.
