OZIntell Materials

OZIntell Pty Ltd>Technology>CAD/CAM>Materials

OZIntell do not just sell machines, we are committed to providing Australian schools with a comprehensive CAD/CAM solution. This includes sourcing and supplying an extensive range of consumable materials for the 2D vinyl cutters, the engravers and the wonderful 3D modelers. Our efforts ensure that Australian teachers have ready access to the best educational CAD/CAM materials available today.

2-D MATERIALS

Coloured Vinyl

Speciality Vinyls

Card and Paper

Cutronic PCB Foil

Ceramicon

Application Tape

3-D MATERIALS

Roland milling/routing machines can be used with a wide variety of readily available workshop materials such as acrylic and MDF. Our policy is to make available to users harder to find or more exotic materials, thus extending the use and scope of these versatile machines even further.

Modelling Foam

This is an easy machining foam, ideal for 3D prototyping and modelling. It can be machined at high speed with minimal tool wear. Low density foam allows rough models and prototyping at low cost. High density foam is ideal for finished models. The high density foam can also be used as a plug for vacuum forming.The foam can also be used as a mould for low melting point alloys for applications such as jewellery manufacture.

Modelling foam is the first choice material for most 3D modelling in schools.

The foam comes in bags of 50 blocks, each 150 x 100 x 40mm, in either low density or high density.

Due to the very fine dust produced by this material, vacuum extraction MUST be used to prevent ingress into bearings, etc.

Forex Classic ®-NEW

Forex® classic is a closed cell rigid PVC foam supplied in sheets. Its versatility is unequalled among creative sheet materials. It can be machined in less than half the time of acrylic. It can be milled, sawn, drilled, welded, glued, screwed, nailed, riveted, heat bent and painted.

The 3 and 5mm sheets are available in black, red green, blue, white, yellow and grey. All colours have a silky matt finish.

Forex® classic is available in 19mm thick, white blocks and is ideal for high quality 3D modelling and rapid prototyping for a range of products, mobile phones, watches, jewellery, etc. Due to its rigid nature it can be used to create shell structures by machining from both sides.

Engraving Laminates

Engraving laminate works by having a base material covered with a thin layer of a contrasting colour. As the material is engraved, the base colour is revealed to decorative effect.

We stock two types of engraving laminates, rigid and flexible. The rigid material has a hard shiny finish and is very durable. It is great for door signs, etc., but it is quite abrasive, so tool life must be budgeted for when using it.

Flexible engraving laminate is ideal for many school projects. It is available in a variety of colours and interesting finishes. It is beautifully easy to machine, and is not abrasive. It is ideal for jewellery type projects where only small amounts would be used. A typical project such as a key fob could easily be machined in less than a couple of minutes and would typically cost about 60 cents. Quick, whole class projects, can now be a doddle!

Modelling Wax

This is a hard blue wax formulated specifically for ease of machining. It allows articles to be modelled at high feeds and speeds, thus ensuring the shortest possible machining time. It is ideal for vacuum forming plugs, and it also makes an excellent mould for casting resin. Although initially expensive, this should be regarded as an investment, as it may be melted down and re-cast in simple moulds (such as baking trays) for re-use.

Food Grade Nylon

We now stock a modelling material which is food grade. This new material offers pupils the chance to design and manufacture such items as confectionery or biscuit moulds. The resulting mould, once washed, is suitable for press moulding to create the final food product. Available in 20mm thick slabs - colour white.

PCB Laminate

We supply two PCB materials each in single and double sided forms. FR4 material is resin based, glass reinforced, 1oz copper coated, PCB laminate. FR2 material is similar in appearance, but uses laminated paper rather than glass. It is not quite so strong, but it is much less abrasive. This means much longer tool life and lower cost, making it an ideal choice for education. Two thicknesses are available, 1.6mm and 1mm.
