How we fabricated the X-Wing Star Wars Fighter Spaceship
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...
We wanted to create a 3D prop using a simple 2D machine.
We used our FCX848 CNC Hot Wire Foam Cutter (our 2 blocks machine), which is used for creating two dimensional projects.
Using 2lbs EPS foam, we cut all pieces separately, then glued them using epoxy glue.
