EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) and EPP (Expanded Polypropylene) have high insulation values and are used extensively in the packaging, refrigeration and building industries.
These materials are mostly moulded for application and production but can also be machined for prototyping and proof of concept.
Recently Bray Plastics were asked to machine a prototype surfboard core using one of their large capacity CNC routers.
We produced a profiled vacuum table in EPP to enable an accurate machining fixture for the second of the board profiles, having machined the first profile on a standard flat vacuum table.
