“…The researchers at KAIST (Kim et al) have also published a number of papers describing a novel hot tool which is used to ablate plastic foams [26][27][28]. The process which the authors call rapid heat ablation (RHA), involves the use of a specially designed hot tool shaped similarly to a ball-end mill to create new surfaces by ablating foam.…”

Current additive rapid prototyping technologies fail to efficiently produce objects greater than 0.5m³ due to restrictions in build size and build time. Conversely large hot-wire cutting machines, able to cut large objects, often lack the ability to create surfaces with complex geometrical features. Therefore there is a need to develop rapid prototyping and manufacturing technologies capable of producing large objects in a rapid manner directly from CAD data. Large sized freeform objects made of soft materials, such as polystyrene foam, have numerous uses including; conceptual design of commercial products, automotive design, aerodynamic and hydrodynamic testing, advertising, film making, medical supports, sporting equipment and props for the entertainment industry. Plastic foam cutting rapid prototyping is a relatively new technology capable of producing large plastic foam objects directly from CAD data. This paper will describe nine such technologies that have been developed or are currently being developed at institutions around the world.

“…Therefore, the heat radius should be investigated to control the kerfwidth for precise cutting. During a cutting process using a heat source, such as laser, plasma, or hotwire, the main process parameters that determine the kerfwidth are generally the cutting speed and the heat input [10,12,13]. From the previous works, the ablating speed and the heat input were determined to be dominant parameters in the RHA process.…”
