What this video covers
CFX Masks hosts an all-day livestream showcasing the robotic sculpting of their newest design, the Gemini mask, using their in-house Kuka 6-axis robotic arm nicknamed Wesbot. The workflow begins with a digital sculpt that is translated into a robot path program, allowing the machine to carve the bulk of the form from Monsterclay. Human artists then step in to add finishing details and refinements the robot cannot achieve, ultimately producing a wearable silicone mask. The stream offers an extended, real-time look at how professional-grade technology is integrated into high-end mask production.
Key takeaways
- ◆CFX uses a Kuka 6-axis robotic arm (Wesbot) programmed by Robotic Solutions to automate the primary sculpting stage
- ◆Digital sculpt files are converted directly into robot path programs, streamlining the design-to-physical workflow
- ◆Human artists hand-finish every piece that comes off the robot for detail work and final refinement
- ◆The clay sculpture serves as the master form for a finished wearable silicone mask
- ◆The all-day format lets viewers drop in and out to follow the mask's progress in real time

Real YARNABY Animatronic! 🧶😱 #poppyplaytime
Wicked Makers' Jay and Jaimie construct a full animatronic version of Yarnaby from the horror game Poppy Playtime, built from steel and driven by pneumatics. The build goes beyond aesthetics — the team stress-tests the animatronic's jaw mechanism using a ballistic gel arm to see whether it could realistically bite through a limb. The video blends behind-the-scenes fabrication footage with chaotic prop-testing in classic Wicked Makers style. It sits alongside their broader catalog of mascot-horror animatronics inspired by FNAF, Poppy Playtime, and similar franchises.
