What this video covers
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.
Key takeaways
- ◆CFX uses a Kuka 6-axis robotic arm called Wesbot to automate the majority of the clay sculpting process for new mask designs
- ◆Digital sculpt files are converted into robot path programs, enabling precise physical reproduction in Monster Clay
- ◆Human artists still finish every piece that comes off Wesbot, handling details and refinements beyond the robot's capability
- ◆The stream ran all day, giving viewers the chance to watch the mask evolve from raw block to sculpted form in real time
- ◆This hybrid workflow accelerates new mask development while maintaining the quality of hand-finished silicone wearables
Who this is for
Professional mask makers, silicone prop fabricators, and tech-curious Halloween enthusiasts interested in how cutting-edge robotics and digital workflows are applied to high-end wearable mask production.

REAL CatNap Animatronic! #catnap #poppyplaytime #shorts
Wicked Makers' Jaimie and Jay build a fully functioning CatNap animatronic from scratch, bringing the popular Poppy Playtime horror-game character to life. The short-form video showcases the impressive finished result of their fabrication work. It's a quick but striking look at what dedicated prop builders can achieve with recognizable pop-culture source material.
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.
Make Halloween Store Skeletons Way Better! 💀 #shorts
Wicked Makers' Jay and Jaimie demonstrate how to transform a basic store-bought Halloween skeleton into a far more impressive and creepy display piece. The short teases a full-length tutorial focused on giving the skeleton a pirate or drunken drinking character. The upgrade elevates a generic prop into a themed centerpiece without starting from scratch.
