What is the Canfit™ FootWare™ Carver?

You may carve shoe lasts, positive orthotic moulds and soft insoles on one powerful, 4-Axis carving machine, the Canfit™ FootWare™ Carver. Tooling and machine parameters have been custom tailored for high volume, allowing for rapid carvings of shoe lasts in high density polyethylene or hard wood. Sophisticated carving software, Canfit™ 4-Axis CAM™ gives the operator full control over the choice of carving blank and positioning of the designed shape within the blank.

You need to upgrade your Flash Player to version 9 or newer.
