FoamSync

What is FoamSync?

FoamSync turns a hot-wire foam cutter into a precision production tool. Instead of hand-drawing every profile and fighting with raw G-code, you generate the shape parametrically, let the cut-safe nester pack it into your stock, and send a clean, kerf-compensated 4-axis toolpath to the machine — or simulate the whole job first on the built-in virtual machine.

Built for the shops that cut EPS / XPS / PU every day: architectural décor, RC and aero foam cores, and thermal insulation.

The point is time. A parametric generator collapses the hours normally spent preparing and converting profiles down to minutes — so the work shifts back to where it belongs: actually cutting parts.

Highlights

  • ⚙️ Parametric generators — domes, vaults, walls, cornices, NACA airfoils, pipe shells, thermal panels. Minutes, not hours.
  • 🪛 4-axis cutting (with 5th rotary-axis support) — independent X/Y and U/V towers for tapered and twisted parts.
  • 🧩 Auto-nesting — collision-aware packing across every generator, with continuous, clean cut paths.
  • 🖥️ Virtual machine — preview and validate the full cut before touching real foam.
  • 🎛️ Real-machine control — live DRO, jog, heater control (PWM / PID), one-tap wire-zero.
  • 🪶 Cut quality built in — per-material calibrated feed and curvature-adaptive corner slowdown.
  • ✏️ Freehand Grid editor — draw any custom contour (snap grid, curved edges, holes, trace-over-image) and save it to your own library.
  • 📐 SVG / DXF import — bring in profiles you already have.

Generators

🏛 BUILD — architectural

Dome (radial / oculus / top-cap), Vault (custom span & height), building-block walls with rounded-corner openings, and a Cornice generator for decorative moulding profiles.

Dome generator

✈️ AERO — 4-axis airfoils

NACA-4 airfoil (any chord / thickness), spar-slot cut-outs with bridge support, 4-axis tilted cuts, and cylindrical or tapered wings with independent root + tip profiles.

NACA airfoil generator

🔥 THERMAL — insulation

Pipe-shell unfolder for cylindrical jackets, and a thermal-panel stack-nester.

Thermal panel generator

Always included

Grid Sketch (freehand contour editor + saved-shape library), primitive Shapes, and SVG / DXF import — on every edition, including Lite.
