This timelapse video condenses an 8-hour CFX live stream down to roughly three minutes, showcasing the creation of their Gemini mask using Wesbot, a Kuka 6-axis robotic arm. The robot mills a near-complete sculpt from Monster Clay based on a digitally designed path program, while human artists step in throughout to refine and build up the clay by hand. The result is a hybrid fabrication process that blends digital precision with traditional hands-on craftsmanship. The finished sculpt will ultimately be used to produce a professional-grade silicone mask.
CFX Masks showcases a time-lapse of their robotic sculpting workflow using Wesbot, a Kuka 6-axis robotic arm programmed by Robotic Solutions, to rough-sculpt a new mask design called Texas Slim. The piece is created in Monster Clay as part of the pipeline toward a finished silicone mask, with human artists still refining every machine-cut piece. The video teases the Texas Slim design created for the Texas Haunters Convention and invites audience feedback on preferred content formats — full live streams versus weekly time-lapse uploads.
This timelapse video compresses an eight-hour CFX Live stream into two minutes, showcasing how the company's Kuka 6-axis robotic arm—nicknamed Wesbot—mills a clay sculpture of their newest mask character, Texas Slim. The footage captures the operator pausing the robot to refine and build up clay by hand, as well as using compressed air to clear milled debris. The final piece is a near-complete Monster Clay sculpt destined to become a professional silicone mask. CFX emphasizes that human artistry and digital design by their sculptor Herman remain central to the process.
CFX Masks broadcasts a full-day livestream following the robotic sculpting of a new wearable silicone mask called Texas Slim, using their proprietary Kuka 6-axis robotic arm known as Wesbot. The workflow begins with a digital sculpt that is translated into a robot path program, allowing Wesbot to carve the majority of the form from Monster Clay. Human artists then step in to add finishing details and refinements the robot cannot yet achieve, resulting in a fully handcrafted-quality piece ready for silicone production.
CFX Masks hosts an all-day livestream showcasing Wesbot, their in-house Kuka 6-axis robotic sculpting arm programmed by Robotic Solutions, cutting a brand-new mask design from Monster Clay. The workflow begins in a digital environment, where a sculpt is designed and then translated into the robot's path program, allowing Wesbot to handle the bulk of the physical carving. Human artists then step in to add finishing detail and refinement that the robot cannot yet achieve on its own. The end goal is a fully wearable silicone mask ready for production.
CFX Masks broadcasts an all-day livestream showing their robotic sculpting system — nicknamed Wesbot — carving a brand-new mask design out of Monster Clay using a Kuka 6-axis robotic arm programmed by Robotic Solutions. The workflow begins with a digital sculpt file that is translated into the robot's motion path, allowing the machine to handle the bulk of the rough sculpting work. Human artists then step in to refine details and complete elements the robot cannot fully achieve on its own, ultimately producing a master sculpt destined to become a finished wearable silicone mask.
