Ever heard of polystyrene? It’s nothing complicated, it’s just the scientific name for Styrofoam. The Maker Hub’s Proxxon Thermocut allows you to cut Styrofoam in a clean and safe way without frayed edges. The foam cutter can be used for architectural models, plane and boat items, and various decorative pieces.
The large table ensures smooth and easy movement of the foam piece, allowing you to easily cut the Styrofoam into the desired shape.
For more information, check out the Maker Hub’s wiki page. Check out this video to see how it works!
The Maker Hub exists as a resource and creative outlet for the entire George Fox community (yes, including non-engineers!). We are looking for student aces. A student ace is simply an expert on a piece of equipment who helps train other students on the usage of that equipment and gains extra privileges within the Maker Hub.
Please email makerhub@georgefox.edu if you would like to get connected or have any questions.
