Robot milling of automotive mold patterns in EPS foam

Automotive customization tooling Shared by Simaxis Engenharia — the team supports a client producing custom automotive body panels by milling mold patterns from EPS foam blocks. The finished blank shown on the shop floor carries the concentric ridges of a ball-nose finishing pass, ready for composite layup. KUKA offline programming The toolpaths are generated in ENCY CAD/CAM software (ENCY Robot) for a KUKA KR 200 L170 robotic cell. The simulation view lists roughing waterline and two scallop-height passes on the front-right fender geometry, with the machine kinematics fully modeled. Why it fits For large curved automotive geometries, robotic milling gives the reach and multi-axis freedom that classic gantry mills lack. ENCY Robot handles the toolpath generation, kinematics, and full cell simulation in one environment — from CAM to verified robot code.
