Modeling Foam

Modeling & styling boards (Renshape) -
Designed and formulated to meet the wide scope of proofing, modeling, styling, prototyping and fabricating applications found throughout industry today.

Machinable foam is a hard, rigid foam that retains high detail, is very durable, and can be machined at high speeds, similar to machining wax But unlike wax, it’s mostly air, so the amount of swarf generated during milling is significantly less. Most machinable foam is made from high-density polyurethane, and it comes in many different densities, depending on your needs. Lower densities are lighter, cheaper, and produce less swarf than higher densities; however, higher densities have a smoother texture and retain detail better.

Uses for machinable foam include indoor and outdoor signs, molds for resin casting, prototyping all kinds of parts, and architectural models. Since foams span a wide range of densities, it can be used in place of wax when a stronger, more temperature-resistant material is needed or when a lighter, cheaper material is needed. Some foam can withstand temperatures up to 500° F.
