“…David r. Aitchison, Hadley L. brooks, Joseph D. Bain and Dirk Pons (2010) studied the "Rapid manufacturing facilitation through optimal machining prediction of polystyrene foam". In this general relationships between wire temperature, power input, feedrate, kerf width and work piece material composition were developed and an optimal machining algorithm was proposed and tested [4].
