Forming foam is a subtractive procedure that needs eliminating items of the substrate to form the piece right into its last kind. This can be done by hand or with the use of a computer-controlled reducing maker. The most typical types of foam for shaping are extruded polystyrene (XPS) as well as expanded polystyrene (EPS). Both are manufactured making use of a blowing representative to broaden the polystyrene material right into a range of sizes and shapes throughout their manufacture. Both XPS as well as EPS can be cut with basic house tools or with a warm cable cutter. A warm cable cutter is an easy device that uses electrical power to produce sufficient warmth to cut through the foam without harming it. A lot of musicians like EPS for their massive foam sculpting jobs. It is more economical and has a larger thickness than XPS, making it better for large-scale sculpting jobs. Lots of EPS carvers utilize a Hirsch mold and mildew to guarantee they obtain the exact block dimension they desire.

This is especially real when collaborating with EPS, which has a high-density polystyrene core that is hollow at the top. This causes a smoother surface area that some musicians locate more comfy to carve and also form. The external surface area of a foam sculpture generally receives a hard finish to provide a desired coating, whether it’s for painting and also finishing or for protecting the ended up sculptural piece from damages and also wear.
