CFX Masks offers a live behind-the-scenes look at Wesbot, their Kuka-based 6-axis robotic sculpting arm, as it cuts a new mask design in real time. The robot is programmed by Robotic Solutions and translates digital designs from their in-house designer directly into physical form. While Wesbot handles the heavy lifting of the sculpt, skilled human hands still complete each mask with finishing touches the robot cannot replicate. This is a rare window into professional-grade mask manufacturing at an industrial scale.
