That's awesome. Sweet setup.
Is that CNC table set up solely for the use of the laser cutter or do you swap it out with a route as needed?
You must crank out some armor pretty quick with that.
This machine is specifically a laser cutter. It is a kit from buildlog.net and it's a pretty great machine. The software chain leaves a lot to be desired in terms of user friendliness, but that's mostly because the same software chain also runs the CNC router we have.
We have a CNC router, but it is a mini cart and mostly used for engraving stuff like custom circuit boards rather than, say, CNC routing entire prop pieces. We are currently fundraising for a full size table top CNC router, which could in theory route an entire armor suit out of MDF to use as a molding master. But we're several months away from that. I do want to use the CNC cart to do something like an arc reactor out of aluminum, but I haven't had a chance to try that yet.
By the way, this isn't my setup. I am a member of a local hackerspace and as a member I have access to all of that equipment. You should see if you have something near you if you don't have the space or can't afford these type of tools!
You can laser cut an entire pep file in about 20 minutes. For example I had to remake some of my Ultron 5 parts and it took just a few minutes to cut. It is a complete foam pep game changer, it turns hours of cutting into minutes and you can really blow through a build in no time.
