Introducing Our Newest Machine at Luck Dragon Media
Our new CNC machine is going to help us make even bigger, better projects in the foam sculpting realm, and we’re excited to highlight what we can do with it!
Key Points
Luck Dragon Media has added a CNC router to enhance our foam sculpting work, enabling precise, large-scale, and complex 3D creations like signage, sculptures, and architectural details, while still valuing hand-crafted finishes.
We got it on sale!
Now we can offer even faster turnaround, mass production, and expanded services, including custom foam lettering, promo items, and themed architectural elements for events, displays, and set designs.
So… What Is a CNC Router?
Our CNC router is, in simplest terms, a big carving machine. We can draw out anything we want, send it into our machine, and it will help us cut it out! Our setup, thanks to Brad, includes multiple cutting depths and layers, meaning we can build complex 3D shapes with precision.
Foam, being as soft and workable as it is, is super easy for our machine to cut through. We can get it to carve gorgeous, precise shapes while we work on everything else we need to work on, like sanding, coating, painting, or for our newest project, installing lights!

We’re not quitting hand-carving though. Our new machine is a helper, not a replacement. Complex, symmetrical, or deep carved shapes are what our CNC router does best, while we take care of the rest. We still rely on our hands (and years of experience) for finishing touches, artistic flourishes, and everything in between.
Why We Pulled the Trigger on the Big Buy
In truth, the main reason Brad and Michael invested in the CNC router is because it was on sale, but there was no discount on it’s handiness! This machine is not only going to help us with efficiency, but will also help us create much more complex designs down the line, so that we can offer you more services! With faster turnaround and higher repeatability, we can make sure your next design is clean, sharp, and stands out from the crowd.
Now, we’ll be able to offer:
Custom Foam Lettering: For out-standing signage, event or trade show installations that pop, or dimensional branding for businesses
3D Foam Sculptures: We already do this, but now we can go big. Really big. Whole environments, sets, and massive monsters can come to life for holiday decorations or even movie or theater set designs. Rumor has it, Michael’s got something cooking in this realm…
Promotional Items: Large scale product or mascot replicas can really draw an audience in, and you can finalize that sale with some light-weight promo items, great to carry with you to any convention or showcase! Plus, we can mass produce specific shapes for retail displays, installations and events, or multi-location product rollouts now too.
Architectural Foam Detailing: Brad’s most excited about being able to make precise relief carvings and thematic structures (Greek, fantasy, sci-fi, etc.) for not only our office, but yours as well! Columns, moldings, capitals, cornices, and faux stone or wood accents are no trouble anymore with our new machine.
