Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
Foamlinx has been in business since 2001
What is your primary product or service?
We manufacture CNC foam cutting machines, including CNC hot wire foam cutters and CNC routers
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
As an electrical and software engineer I've always liked flying RC planes as a hobby and was curious about how the plane wings are cut. I have developed my first prototype in the garage - A foam cutter able to cut wings, airfoils and cores, with a hot wire that is heated by motors and power supply that melts the foam with contact. Since then our company grew and evolved to manufacture CNC routers creating 3D projects up to 16ft and more, making props, signs, letters, exhibits, prototypes and anything from foam.
