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.
CFX Masks teases the upcoming release of 'Texas Slim,' a silicone character mask developed in collaboration with the Texas Haunters Convention team. The mask draws on dark western folklore — evoking a sinister crossroads deal-maker — and was created as a limited new design drop. Full details including pricing, movement features, and availability were set to be announced the following day at 10am CST via the CFX website and social channels. No runtime footage or in-depth review is included; this is strictly a teaser announcement.
This short video from CFX (Composite Effects) showcases the Texas Slim silicone mask in its dry variant, demonstrating how the mask moves and performs on a male-fit wearer. Texas Slim is the official mascot character of the Texas Haunters Convention, inspired loosely by western film legend Slim Pickens. The mask is a premium silicone product available with customizable hair options including bushy eyebrows, a handlebar moustache, and long wraparound hair. It was originally designed by Michael Skalberg in collaboration with the Texas Haunters Convention, with 3D sculpting by Herman Silesky and finishing by Brett Morris.

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 documents a full-day livestream of their robotic sculpting system, Wesbot, cutting a brand-new mask design called Texas Slim from Monster Clay. The process showcases how a digital sculpt file is translated into a path program for a Kuka 6-axis robotic arm, which performs the bulk of the physical sculpting work. Human artists then step in to add finishing details and refinements the robot cannot achieve on its own. The end goal is a fully wearable silicone mask brought to market through this hybrid digital-robotic workflow.
