Hotwire acting is a commonly used method to cut various types of foam in different shapes and sizes. Cut quality of foam depend upon variable cutting parameters of hotwire which affects the cutting process to achieve the needed cut, precise and accurate cutting parameters are needed to be set this research is done to develop 4 axis computer-controlled machine to perform precise and accurate foam cutting using hot wire and to identify suitable cutting parameters to improve foam cutting. This CNC has two mutually perpendicular axes controlled using a motor and micro controller. This design will aid UAV designers, Aero- modeller & hobbyist for rapid prototyping of wings, fuselage & different shapes, also it has wide application in RC modelling, signage, scale model & props, etc. this will save time, increase productivity and quality of cuts.
