Foam core - double sided milling

These two cores prepared in this video clip are supposed to sit on a car that a tuning team works with. They are first made in XPS foam for testing directly on the car. When tested and perfected, the cores are made 3 mm thinner to compensate for the carbon fibre laminate. The milling (on each side) is a roughing step and then directly two planar steps with different directions. Foam cores are so easy milled that the Z-level is not needed.

This clip is available in HD. Maximize the video screen and increase the resolution and you'll have a crisp clear view.
As usual, I run this demo in a virtual environment and it makes the simulator acting a bit odd. Try it for real!
