Large Format Machining
We specialize in complex 3D surfaces.
Bigger parts in fewer pieces.
EPS is by far our most popular material for large format shapes. Giant molds can be built up quickly, machined quickly, then shelled with denser materials for a durable part.
Two major things that make us quick:
Bigger Material
Our EPS billets start as 4x4x8′ blocks. We have several suppliers in the immediate area to handle any amount of material needed, quickly.
Bigger Machines
Our machines fit single parts in a huge envelope. Our robotic milling cells can handle 10ft diameter parts, and our 5-axis CNC routers have envelopes up to 8x16x4ft.

Modeling Board
Urethane foam (aka HDU, PU, tooling board, sign foam) is common for molds and high-detail artwork, and has no upward size limit.
We can coat HDU parts with hardcoat or epoxy primer to deliver a mold-ready part, and core them with EPS to lower the cost of bigger parts.
MDF
Medium Density Fiberboard is commonly used for short run molds for concrete or fiberglass, generally within a 4’x8′ x 1′ tall envelope.
MDF can be epoxy coated or sealed for more durability and is a great method to get a dozen cost-effective parts.
Fiberglass
Are you after a fiberglass part?
Shells, molds, plugs and final parts all start here – we can design splits, flanges or mating features, and mill it all into the pattern.
Get the pattern, the mold, or formed parts. We’ll help with any step!
Advanced 5-axis milling
We linked up with some of the best 3D surface CAM software on the market, telling us exactly what our surface is going to look like with real-time simulations and no surprises.
Detail on Demand
High detail paws, low detail body? We’ve got you.
1/8″ radius corners with 5deg draft? We’ll model it in.
We’re good at milling parts. We’d love to hook you up.
