FrogWire Foam Cutter – W2D/G-code File Generation for Curved Hole Cores Ended

About the job

I’m looking for a CNC file specialist to create Vectric Aspire (.crv3d) files and working G-code for a FrogWire foam cutter. This project involves cutting curved, round hole cores out of EPS foam blocks, with a very specific cutting format.

Machine & Workflow
Machine: FROG3D FrogWire cutter

Axis type: X, Y, U, V (not W)

Control: Custom G-code input (not proprietary software)

Material: Type 2 EPS foam, typically 8' x 4' x 8" blocks

All cuts must be clean arcs (no slashes through plug), corner-zero placement, and include a short or 2” lead-in

Final cut must match a plug shape, not just an open ring

Cut Geometry
Tapered round hole cores

Must match the curved wall radius of manhole forms

Example diameters: Inner 1310 mm, Outer 1460 mm (wall thickness = 150 mm)

Taper must follow a mold-radius profile, not a straight line

Deliverables
Aspire (.crv3d) file with toolpaths ready to export

Clean, optimized G-code for hotwire cutting

All toolpaths starting from corner-zero (positive X/Y only)

Compatible with FrogWire post processor or generic .nc format

Visual guide showing the plug profile and path if possible

Reusability
We’ll be doing a series of these plug sizes, so if this goes well, I’ll need repeat work in batches - And a lot of other files will be needed for other projects.
